Do I have any legal rights to pursue the DVLA

[c0989]

Hi

 

Over 2 years ago I had a seizure and after that I had a few minor ones, but I had my license revoked (annoying but I see why)

Anyway 12 months of being seizure free after an operation I applied for my license. Both my GP and specialist filled out forms and about 3 months later I got my license back.

2 months after that I then received a letter from the DVLA saying they had changed their mind and now want to review my case further and made me send back my license.

I know everyone says this but I am now absolutely fine have been for 18 months. I have phoned, emailed, sent letters with them and just got no-where. They sent me for an eye test (i got 100%!). I have seen all the correspondance from my GP and specialist and no where does it say I am unfit to drive.

My specialist has recently sent them a letter that categorically states I am completely fit to drive (I know because he sent me a copy of the same letter) yet they say they have not received it. This is the 3rd letter he has sent, I have even emailed a copy of the letter to them, but they just say they cannot accept it and they are "waiting on further medical advice from my specialist"

The letters I receive from them are clearly being back dated as I am receiving letters from at least 2 weeks ago.

 

What else can I do? Do I have anywhere I can turn to make a complaint or at least get compensation for the costs of buying, taxing and insuring the vehicle.

 

The thing is I can't really appeal as they just wont make a decision either way. I am just lost in their internal processes.

 

Could I go down the route of legal action based on the fact they gave me a license in error back in Feburary? Maybe this could kick them into life?

 

Any advice people
