Hi all. Got a provisional licence, learning to drive. Sister has wrote to DVLA to say I am medically unfit due to being Alcohol dependent. My licence has now been revoked. Any advice please

Alcohol problems are one of the conditions that need to be reported. See link. https://www.gov.uk/health-conditions-and-driving/find-condition-a-to-z If you do have these problems then i'm not sure what you can do about your driving license being revoked.

Hello there @unjust if you've received a letter explaining why you've been revoked, this letter might also explain how to appeal this decision, but this must be done within 21 days.

Gov.uk has an information page on why licenses might be revoked or suspended. 

If you are struggling with dependency on alcohol, there is support out there. You can reach out to the following organisations for help: 

• Drinkaware Support Services
• NHS: Find Alcohol Support in your local area
• DAN 24/7 or you can text 'DAN' to 81066

If we can do anything else to help or support you, please ask, and we'll do what we can.

She did the right thing! The possibility of you drinking alcohol, driving a car and killing someone is far too hard to comprehend. Until you are alcohol free and remain so then you can reapply for a new licence.

Hi there, whatever made you think it was due to alicohol?

You said in your original post that your sister told the DVLA that you are alcohol dependent and that was why they then revoked your license. Sorry if we misunderstood and you were saying that your sister lied about you having alcohol problems and that you don’t have any. If that is what you are saying then perhaps you can get your GP to inform the DVLA that you have no alcohol problems and that your sister made the accusation as a malicious lie.

I will do
