Reporting a medical condition to DVLA
Use GOV.UK to check which health issues affect driving
If your employees suffer from a medical condition, it could
affect their driving.
The
DVLA publishes a full A to Z online, so you and your employees can check
which conditions need to be reported.
You’ll
be directed to the relevant form or questionnaire if necessary.
In
some cases, such as diabetes, there’s specific guidance for lorry, bus and coach
drivers.
This
covers drivers with diabetes treated by diet alone and those with insulin
treated diabetes who are applying for a lorry or bus entitlement.
The
form (M1V) for professional drivers to report medical conditions is available
here.
It’s
worth pointing out that notifiable medical conditions include those which
sometimes may be ‘invisible’ at first, such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic
stress disorder.
Professional
drivers are considered a high-risk group when it comes to mental health.
Useful links
These leaflets provide guidance on what you need to tell DVLA if you’re a driver with diabetes.
