Licence Renewing after a ban

[mashmallow]

just wondering if anyone can help with this,

 

my son was on a drink drive ban about 11 years ago and not been driving since,

 

now he has applied for his licence,

 

paid the 90 fee and was sent a letter to arrange for a medical before he can get his licence,

 

they have given him 6 weeks from the 22nd April to get the medical done with the cost of £98.50 for a blood test ect.,

 

he has not got the money until after the six weeks they have stated,

 

could this result in him losing his original £90.00 fee for the renewal and have to re-apply with a further fee of £90

 

 

Please can someone give some advice on this.

Might be best asking the DVLA helpline for that answer.

Since my last post my son attended a medical and a report was sent to DVLA who then requested further info from his gp, now got a letter back saying that through previous drug abuse his licence has been revoked can he get a copy of the medical report sent to dvla so he can appeal

shld be able to do so. see if the gp (if they retained a copy) or dvla will provide a copy voluntarily. if not, consider a sar?

One quick question can he appeal and how does he start the appeal as he thinks the decision is unfair.

 

 

Many thanks

did you manage get the med info sought?

 

their decisions can be appealed, but i think there is an appeal time limit? has that passed?
