DVLA - Hospital communication?

I had a heart valve replacement on 1st February. Even my car license had to be surrendered. I applied towards the end of March for it to be returned and am still waiting :unamused: :cry: . At the moment I am driving under section 88 of the RTA, which allows me to drive with the agreement of my GP, only if I surrendered my license voluntarily and if there are no changes since I surrendered it (penalty points etc). This only applies to my car license. HGV will take a hell of a lot longer.
Don’t hold your breath for a quick decision. DVLA are a law unto themselves. Best of luck with it.Hope you get back to work soon. :wink:
