check out the DVLA website, e mail them via the online link ( see one for drivers one for vehicles)
ask them the question & you will get a horses mouth reply ( use a hotmail address if your worried about being identified)

From memory "Officially" if you suffer any condition that prevents you from driving for more than 3 months eg a broken leg ? you are supposed to notify the DVLA.
I think your GP may be able to advise you on this.

'Smiling Vulture' and a question about a brain injury with regard to recent events?

I do hope that you are being serious and not making any other mileage out of this S V.

You must not only inform the DVLA buit also your insurance company-I had to go into all this not because of brain injury but diabetes.
