When will the DVLA tell me when I can drive again?

Could you please help me to find out if I am allowed to drive again?

I had to contact the DVLA because I have a medical problem that I had to inform them about. But it's now been months since they contacted me and I can't get hold of anyone at the DVLA over the phone. Help!

We have been inundated with requests to contact the DVLA recently so I'm afraid I can't contact them on your behalf.

If you have tried phoning the DVLA without success, you could try writing to the DVLA medical department: Drivers' Medical Enquiries, DVLA, Swansea SA99 1TU or progress this to a formal complaint via the Gov.uk website.

Another option if that doesn't work is to contact your local MP.
