Hi everyone, I am new to this and would appreciate any help from you. My Dad aged 74 has recently been diagnosed with mild vascular demantia. He has had to inform DVLA, who after their investigations have written to him to say that his current licence has been withdrawn and a new photo card d/l will be issued, which is valid for 1 year. My Dad is still very able and a safe drive. He feels very upset that he will have to renew his licence annually and that this may also increase his car insurance. He is generally feeling very low about his diagnose and this decision by DVLA has made him worse. I have tried to explain to him that DVLA need to monitor his driving ability annually for his and other road users safety. But he feels that he should appeal, he doesn't thing his conditon is effecting his driving. Has anyone else appealed and do you know what is involved and whether it is worth doing to help my Dad understand and reduce his tension.
