    The form is now complete. 
    I am feeling tearful & dident sleep well last night. 
    Huge gentle hugs x

    Massive well done in getting the form done so quickly 👏 Is that it now or did you say something about needing input from the GP? 

    Hope you sleep a bit better tonight with having cleared the first hurdle in the (frankly 🤬 unnecessary) process.

    I send the form away. They will then get in touch with my GP.

    Just to help karma along - do you know how easy it is to check if a vehicle has tax & MOT.  I only know because a friend of mine who used to have trade plates to move his vehicles from one site to another, kept getting reported by a neighbour very like yours.

    I hope this is all resolved quickly for you and I hope karma bites him on the rear!

    Look after yourself and maybe chat to GP about the dvla thing and how it will impact you to be without a car
    DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.
