hi all. hope you dont mind me asking a question on my first visit but Im a bit desprate for info.

does anyone know anyone who is a truck driver and got told they had ms? did they lose there licence? did they get it back later? did they have to stop driving whilst dvla thought about it? what happened basically?

i think it would be a revocation of entitlement but i could be wrong

Medical rules HERE say

GROUP 2 ENTITLEMENT
VOC — LGV
Recommended refusal or revocation
if condition is progressive or
disabling. If driving would not be
impaired and condition stable, can be
considered for licensing subject to
satisfactory reports and annual
review.
