Driven to Despair - Report on DVLA medical section

mas430:
I have a question( sorry to jump in)

If a medical is due but I choose not to have it by the due time , can I take the medical later (6 months) then have my licence updated then ?
Cheers

I’m no expert but I have always supposed that the licence is dependant on a current medical. No medical means no licence. If your licence is allowed to expire then you may have to go back to square 1.
If I have learnt anything from dealing with DVLA it’s that they are really only interested in protecting their jobs and pensions and are not going to put those at risk by making a considered judgement. If you ask them to choose between your livlihood and their comfort…you loose.
