If you are unable to submit a medical in support of your application your licence renewed subject to a condition that a satisfactory medical report is provided to the Council within six months of the licence being issued.
This shall not apply to drivers over 70 years of age, or those with a chronic condition which requires them to self-isolate under the current Government guidance on coronavirus. A driver in this category should allow their licence to lapse and then be permitted to re-apply once the Government’s guidance has been rescinded. Provided such applications are received before 1st April 2021 then the driver will not be required to undergo the knowledge, driving, or English proficiency tests.
Nothing in the above shall exempt the driver from the requirement to inform the Council of any change in their medical circumstance in line with the DVLA group 2 requirements and the terms and conditions of your DD licence as set out in the Councils handbook.
