The DVLA has been accused of “discriminating” against drivers who declare a medical condition, with some people left waiting months for their driving licence application to be processed.
One teenager said she had to put life plans on hold due to huge delays in getting her licence, and a HGV driver claims he lost his job after experiencing long waits.
Those with medical conditions are forced to use a manual paper system when applying for a driving licence, rather than using the quicker online service, because they have to declare their conditions.
