Revoked Driving License

[2712]

I had my driving license revoked in Feb this year due to Glaucoma and failing the fields test, I’ve had 3 independent tests at 3 different opticians and failed all tests. As my wife has to drive me everywhere do I or she have any possibility of claiming assistance from social services

Not sure about this. I think you can only claim allowance for disability if you are registered sight impaired. It’s probably worth asking at your eye clinic whether you should register. You do qualify for a free bus pass if DVLA withdraw your driving licence but I guess you already have this as you are over 66.

Thanks for getting back so quickly, yes I have a bus pass from when I was 60 I’m 77 now , I can’t get busses everywhere I want to go, plus I play a lot of golf so a electric trolley and golf bag is a little difficult on a bus and nearest bus stop is over half a mile away.

Hello. We are not aware of any assistance available that you can claim on.
