hi i need some advice:

ive had parkinsons for 13 years now and have been on a 3 year renewal on my driving licence.Last july i sent off my renewal as usual and heard nothing but 3 letters over the next 8 months saying they were dealing with and i could continue driving.Then last week i got a letter saying they had revoked my licence on medical grounds.

I rang the dvla and they say it was revoked because of a report they received from my consultant,i asked for a copy and they said i have t write in (ive done this).I also made an appointment to see my consultant who hasnt seen me for ten years!! its allways a nurse specialist i see.

when i turned up for the appointment he wasnt there:-x and i saw one of his minons who couldnt find a copy of his report and tried to fob me off when i demanded a copy.

my parkinsons has never affected my driving and i ha ve 9 years no claims how can the consultant recommend i dont drive when he hasnt seen me for 10 yrs. ive had a look at the dvla medical requirements and as a far as im concerned i meet them.

i live in a very rural area the nearest shop is 6 miles and theres no public transport.without my dl i would have to move house.

i dont know what to do next.

You can appeal, but don't expect them to rush (which government agency does, 10 months to process my wifes ILR visa!!). You will need to refresh your medical evidence. I would recommend one from your specialist, GP and if you can afford it, and independent one.

A neighbour had a similar problem though his was glaucoma being treated effectively. So being honest (it doesn't pay) he declared it. Tested at the local hospital all was fine until last year when the testing went to Boots! Low and behold a letter came to say no licence! Appeal at a cost, submitted in December and in February this year the ungraciously gave him his licence back. Write to your MP these understaffed inefficient Quangos Need a bomb under them (metaphorically you understand).

Yes they are understaffed. They are I'm told running 2-3 months behind on medical appeals. Do go to the web site "they work for you." You can find your MP's contact e-mail there. Give him all your relevant details and don't miss anything! Shout it from the roof tops (Metaphorically speaking)

Yes at what cost? Do the MP route he or she may get results quicker at no cost. Under the freedom of info that info is yours! Damage has been done to you. Can you access a legal eagle free for 30mins sometimes?
