I have recently been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s at the age of 50 after a long hard struggle to get the medical profession to listen to me. At the moment it is in the very early stages and I want to continue my independence as much as possible. I am still driving locally occasionally where I feel comfortable with the support of my specialist and family but I understand that I am now legally obliged to inform the DVLA and my insurance company of the recent diagnosis. It seems unlikely the DVLA will stop me driving yet, but I am unsure how my insurance company will react. Has anyone else had to inform his or her insurance company of a diagnosis of dementia?
