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.

There is a ridiculous problem over this. I know a guy who had something wrong and his license suspended. He got the all clear in June. But he has not been able to get his licence back because the DVLA doctor who finally signs off all such applications quit in June and a replacement has not yet been appointed. Crazy but true.

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.
