Not problem at all with fact it was suspended, correct thing to do, but fact only now, 6 months after I applied for it to be reinstated have they asked my doctor for information is utterly infuriating.
Well, condolences there, DVLA are a nightmare to deal with at the moment, it took me six months to renew my HGV licence last year because of a very minor issue with blood pressure and which was only resolved when my GP (who is superb) involved a cardiologist and both put enormous pressure on them to renew my licence. I actually got £250 compensation out of DVLA for their failings.
Fortunately most of this went on at the time of year when I go boating anyway so it could have been a lot worse.
