UK Drivers

I'm a little unsure on how to make the DVLA aware of my ICD. There are so many different forms, online links, phone numbers and suggestions that I don't know where to begin!

I have just had an ICD fitted and was told by the doctors that I would be banned from driving for 1 month, not 6 months. This is because I have not blacked out nor had any cardiac episodes before the ICD was installed - they said my surgery was preventative, not necessary which makes the difference.

Does anyone know the correct way to go about notifying DVLA and if I will need to send them back my licence or not? I don't want to get slapped with 6 months banned from driving when this is definitely not the case!

Stan, this is the website you use to inform the DVLA of your condition.
