Reporting Health to DVLA

nickbj_2

Can anyone advise? 

I have suffered with AF for twenty years and have only just noticed that I may /should report this To DVLA . This health issue is among many others which I’m sure people are not aware of! How necessary is it and what would happen if I reported it? Could I have my license withdrawn? 

Thanks Nick

AF ? Atrial Fibrilation?

Yes, Atrial Fibrillation. I see that it is reportable but what is the consequence of reporting it?

The consequence is that if DVLA think that it could be a risk to others for you to be driving, you will lose your licence.

For a non-vocational licence, merely having the condition is not enough. It needs to be distracting or disabling, and it needs to pose a risk to your control of your vehicle.
