Hi I have just joined. My husband has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

My husband is still driving-very well. We have not been told to inform DVLA/insurance by the GP so not sure when this needs to be done. Is it up to us?

Hello @wizbang and welcome to this friendly and supportive forum. There is a wealth of shared experience of dementia to be found here, so I am glad you have found us.
I am sorry to read of your husband's recent Alzheimer's diagnosis. It's tough for sure, even if you were half expecting it.
The following link may help with your question:

The law on driving and dementia

Drivers with dementia must tell their licensing agency and car insurer straightaway. Find out more about UK law on driving and dementia, and what happens if these rules are not followed.
