I have only ever taking one seizure and I never drove after it for well over a year. My neurosurgeon gave me the choice to take medication and reduce the risk of it ever happening again so I've been on the medication since 2016.The seizure was brought on by drink and drugs abuse at a low point in my life I don't actually have epilepsy.Thanks,Matt Submitted by Matt on 9 April, 2018 - 16:23. Hi all,my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumour August 2017. He hasnt had a seizure in the last 12 months since taking medication to control it. We never declared it to the dvla, he just hasn’t driven since. I’m not sure what to do, would he now technically be driving illegally?
If we declare it now it sees nonsensical to have it revoked as he hasn’t had a seizure in the last 12 months? He’s likely to be going back to work soon so will need to drive. Submitted by Emily Russell on 12 August, 2018 - 12:26. Hi EmilyIt’s good that your husband stopped driving but the driving laws state he must update the DVLA if diagnosed with a ‘notifiable’ medical condition or disability.Notifiable conditions are anything that could affect his ability to drive safely.
This includes seizures.Your husband will need to complete the declaration of voluntary surrender form, and return this with his licence.If he doesn’t notify the DVLA his driving licence is invalid, his car insurance will be invalid and he will be driving illegally. We have heard from others in a similar situation as your husband, who stopped driving but didn’t return their licence to the DVLA. On a positive note, we have not heard of anyone being prosecuted when they have up dated the DVLA. But we do know if he they could fine him up to £1,000 if they become aware of his situation.
He may also be prosecuted if he’s involved in an accident as a result of the condition.As your husband meets the driving regulations, once his records are updated the DVLA should send him a new licence. If your husband needs to drive for his job, it would be best to get things sorted before he starts work.If we can be of any more help, please feel free to contact us again, either by email or the freephone 0808 800 5050.

I'm 12 weeks into trying to regain my license after surrendering last September (9th). I saw my GP and he was happy to support my application.I was surprised therefore to receive a request at the weekend from DVLA to attend a different DVLA approved practitioner? For a DVLA Medical.
The earliest appointment I can get is 18th October and DVLA tell me that it will take 21 days after receiving the results but they may need to contact my GP for further information so at this rate it could be Christmas before they make a decision. I'm not sure if anyone else has been pushed down this route as I don't see the point of taking time off work to see my GP if DVLA are going to ignore their advice and I could have gone for a DVLA medical in the first place if this is the new practise. Submitted by MarkH on 24 September, 2018 - 11:56. Hi LeeIf you have only had and then nothing more for 6 months, then you do meet the epilepsy and driving laws.
But whether you can drive again depends on a few things.If. you surrendered your licence. your doctor says you’re okay to drive. you have received written confirmation from DVLA that they have received your application and.
you meet the general driving lawsthen you should be able to drive. Even so I would still check with DVLA.If all those things are not in place, then you will need to wait for DVLA either to send you a (if you surrendered your licence).
Or you need to wait until DVLA send you a new licence.The epilepsy and driving laws are quite complex so I do hope this makes sense for you.RegardsCherryEpilepsy Action Helpline Team Submitted by rich on 11 October, 2018 - 10:15. Hi MichaelThanks for your message. The first step is to fill in the application forms. The forms you need will depend on which driving agency you’re applying to.If you’re in England, Scotland or Wales you can find details of the forms on the DVLA website.If you’re in Northern Ireland you can find details of the forms on the DVA website.If you’re reapplying to the DVLA, you’ll need to complete the medical questionnaire yourself. You’ll need to give details about your seizures. You’ll also have to give contact details for your GP and your consultant, and give permission for DVLA to ask them about your fitness to drive.If you’re reapplying to DVA, you’ll need to get your GP to complete the medical questionnaire.We can’t say how long it will be before you get your licence back as this can vary. But if you surrendered your licence (rather than having it revoked) you may be able to start driving again as soon as you meet the epilepsy driving rules, even if you haven’t yet received your new licence.

My dad woke in the night, went to toilet and passed out. He spoke to the Dr about it as he cut his face.The Dr notified DVLA and subsequently my dad received notification he was not allowed to drive for 12 months.The incident happened in September and he received the letter late Oct/Nov.He has since been referred to heart specialist (all fine) and he is not undergoing any tests. His usual Dr has given him the all clear (apparently some older men do get light headed when they wake in the night - he is 76) and has written to DVLA confirming he is fit and well.My dad has since been trying to have his licence back but there seems to be obstacle after obstacle put in his way.Latest was a form re epilepsy but my dad has not been diagnosed with epilepsy.Any idea how he can get his licence back and the timescale? He made the request in January but everything is always '10 days' when he contacts DVLA.Thank you. Submitted by Katie38 on 21 March, 2019 - 15:25.
Hi ChrisIt can be a confusing as there are a number of different forms that are similar but are used for different processes.The is a medical questionnaire that the DVLA uses to assess someone’s fitness to drive. When they receive the FEP1 they will make a decision based on information from you and your doctor whether you meet the required standards to drive or to revoke your licence. When voluntarily surrendering your licence there is a different form to complete called the “.” This can be sent to the DVLA with your driving licence.I’ve followed the link you have included and it’s not clear which online form this takes you to without going through the process of filling it in. If it is the FEP1, it’s possible that the DVLA may have revoked your licence.

If it’s not clear from the letter that they have sent you, it may be a good idea to contact them and ask for clarification.RegardsJessEpilepsy Action Helpline Team Submitted by rich on 3 April, 2019 - 15:48. HiCan someone help me please.To be clear, I am NOT driving and will not drive my car.However I have not yet done any thing with the DVLA. I have had contradictory advice from medical professionals on this.I had a witnessed suspected tonic clonic seizure in November and doctor said refer to neurology. There was an error in their part at this point and referral was cancelled.Over last 6 weeks have been zoning out and suspected complex partial ones (about 10 episodes).
I am on list for urgent neurology appt now but this could still be up to 6 weeks.The DVLA seems to state on their website it is my job to notify them bit what happens if it isn't seizures or epilepsy? I have been started on levetiracetam medication as a precaution while waiting for my appt, which could be up to 6 weeks away.As stated above I am NOT driving as I don't know what's going on and wouldn't risk others or myself but just unclear what I need to do. I want to do the right thing but don't want to be hasty at the same time.Thank you to anyone that can help. Submitted by Mish on 19 April, 2019 - 10:37. Hi MishYou are not alone. Many people find the epilepsy and driving laws very confusing.

And often get contradictory advice. Hopefully this message will help clear things up.It says on everyone’s driving licence that you have to notify DVLA if you have any change of awareness. So it doesn’t matter whether you have a diagnosis or not.
You just need to tell them.If you have had a number of these episodes and have been prescribed epilepsy medicine then it is likely you will need to be 12 months seizure free before you can get your licence back.If you surrender your licence now, you have the advantage or probably being able to start driving again when that 12 months is up. We have more about this. See I’ve reapplied for my licence. When can I start driving again?I hope this helps.RegardsCherryEpilepsy Action Helpline Team Submitted by rich on 24 April, 2019 - 14:11. Hi I recently was rushed to hospital with sepsis and during my stay in hospital I fitted.I am also epileptic but before this I was fit free for 12 years and drove for 5 of them the doctors have said it was a provoked seizure caused bt the post partum sepsis therefore was not my epilepsy that was responsible. I have told DVLA filled in a medical questionnaire and sent off necessary paperwork and been told 1 of 2 things I potentially my be able to carry on driving as normal after DVLA perform the necessary checks are done because the can pin point what caused me to seizure or might suspend. Any idea what to expectthanks Submitted by Kat on 13 May, 2019 - 17:35.
Hi, I had a Seizure in January 2018 in which I surrendered my driving licence for six months but on the 14th June 2018 I had another seizure which was witnessed by the Hospital. I was put on the minimum medication from that date and have had no problems since.
So all together I have not drove for eighteen months, and my Consultant told me to reapply for my licence again. I am due my licence back on the 15th June so would that mean I would get the licence back on this date or do they make you wait longer. I did call the DVLA and they told me it was being processed but would not guarantee I would get it back as it was up to them to get all the info off my Consultant etc. They did send me an email stating section 88 of the road traffic act which could allow me to drive but it's got me a bit confused as I would not be happy till the licence is in my hand. The other thing is my insurance want to see my licence before they will insure me again.Regards Philip Submitted by Philip Salt on 11 June, 2019 - 18:53. Your question will be sent to our advisors.
