    The letter is most likely to inform you that the DVLA are looking into your fitness to drive,they do contact your doctor so,if you’ve been stable for 12 months or more then they may say you’re fit to drive, However as in my case many years ago they did want blood tests and medical before they made a decision.if you drink SOP NOW as they test for that also I know from experience that at least six to eight weeks abstinence is needed before any blood tests.Good luck.
