I have anxiety and am on fluoxetine, very occasionally a tiny dose of diazepam (maybe twice a year). Unsurprising since my mum is dying. I was stupid enough to check with the insurance company who said this is fine as long as I tell the DVLA. So I duly phoned up the medical information line who said I had to fill in a form. I duly filled in the form and assumed that would be the end of it.
So today I get a letter saying that my licence has been revoked as "it is clear from information received that" I have "suffered a psychiatric illness". WTF? I have mild to moderate anxiety, which is being treated. If I had dementia apparently that would be OK.
What the hell is going on here? Has this happened to anyone else? Or was I just extremely stupid to declare this at all?
To top it all my Mum is in a hospice 4 hours away, my DH is too ill to drive (but hasn't had his licence revoked strangely enough) and I need to get there. What on earth do I do?!

Help please. Anyone had their driving licence revoked by the DVLA for ridiculous reasons?
