Driving and disability
Having a medical condition or disability does not necessarily mean you cannot or will not be allowed to drive. Whether you are a new or an experienced driver, you must let the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) know about any medical condition or disability that may affect your driving.
Medical conditions, disabilities and driving
You must tell the DVLA if you have, or have ever had, a medical condition or an impairment that may affect your driving.
If you hold a current driving licence and have a 'notifiable' medical condition or disability, you must tell the DVLA right away. You should not wait until your licence is due for renewal.
Notifiable conditions include epilepsy, strokes and other neurological conditions through to mental health problems, physical disabilities and visual impairments.
You must also tell the DVLA if your medical condition or disability has become worse since your licence was issued or if you develop a new medical condition or disability.
You can also find out about surrendering your driving licence and, where relevant, returning to driving at a later date in the general 'motoring' section of Directgov.
The minimum age for driving cars is 17, but if you're getting Disability Living Allowance at the higher rate (mobility component), you can drive at 16.
