What if the driving agency refuses my application?
Last checked 18/11/2008
You can appeal to the driving agency in writing. You will need to explain why you believe their decision is wrong, and send with your letter a letter of support from your GP or epilepsy specialist. If your appeal isn’t successful, and you believe the driving agency is acting unlawfully, you can appeal to the Magistrates’ Court (for England, Wales and Northern Ireland) or Sheriff Court (for Scotland).
