Will the government pay for my HGV licence?

Because if you had a problem with your eyes, or you suffered from diabetes, the DVLA would ask you to tell them about them. This is important because it makes sure that drivers are fit to drive. They can give you advice on how to look after yourself when you are driving.

How can you tell DVLA that you have them?

It’s easy. Just get the right form (PDF) from DVLA and fill it in. If you suffer from any of these conditions, you can get the form here.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to get yourself checked by a doctor. When you get the form back, check the box which says “Diabetes or taking insulin”.
