HGV Licence gone

davidj247:
A mate of mine had a heart attack 2 weeks ago and has a triple heart bypass on Monday.
He’s had his licence suspended and is confident that he will be back at work in 12 weeks.
I think it is 12 weeks before you can apply to get it back and wondered if any of you know what the position is.

Cheers

I had a double bypass back in August 2009 had the 12 weeks recovery in the end I was out walking every day, then the hospital wanted me to do 6 weeks cardiac rehab, then the DVLA said I had got to do a treadmill ECG test I done that in December and waited until this April for them to say I had failed and they had revoked my HGV. I have now retaken the Treadmill test and back waiting for the DVLA again.
I think it is 12 weeks before you can apply for your licence back then they will sent you for a treadmill test. And start waiting for the results to come back.
