Provisional driving license

[Dinnerisburnt]

I am filling in the application for my DD’s provisional driving license. I am assuming I have to tick the box about her having a serious mental illness.

Has anyone else on here applied? Did it get approved?

Anorexia really is the gift that keeps on giving.

DVLA isn’t always straight forward with medical conditions like this - as what they want to know is will it impact ability to drive.

this is a useful leaflet from a Leeds NHS trust

assuming she’s under care of a MH team you should be able to confirm with them whether she is in the category of needing to declare. May depend on where she os regarding treatment etc.

@BananacentralI have read it, she is a day patient and definitely not going to be learning anytime soon, but wanted to get her some ID and something for her to look forward to for when she is better.

I will ask her doctor, thanks.

fingers crossed for a healthy recovery for her!

hopefully DVLA can get through all the necessary medical bits prior to her being ready 🙂
