Drivers are not required to notify the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) of any medical condition that is not specified in "At a glance Guide to the current Medical Standards of Fitness to Drive". Drivers should seek advice from their GP if they are unsure as to whether they should notify the DVLA of a medical condition.
