I have the suspicion you probably need to inform whichever company insures the car as well From previous comments I have seen I don't think it is likely to be a problem as long as you are able to confirm to them that DVLA have also been notified. It basically means that they can't weasel out of anything if, heaven forbid, there ever is an accident.
Most helpful, thanksHere's the link to the DVLA form for Alzheimer's. https://www.gov.uk/alzheimers-disease-and-driving
I sent it off a couple of weeks ago, and received a reply within a week saying they would write to Hubby's consultant for a recommendation. Nothing to tell me whether he can drive in the meantime, mind you. To be on the safe side, he is not driving until we hear back.
I also notified the insurers and they were not at all bothered. Just noted it in medical conditions and sent new paperwork through. No change to the premium or anything.
Next step, travel insurance!
EG
My wife has the relatively early stage of early onset Alzheimer's. She is capable of driving but at some point will clearly become unable to.
Do I need to do anything to inform the DVLA now? Should she be driving at all?
