Your ability to drive will depend on the type and extent of your needs. The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) will decide whether you can learn to drive.

You must give details of your condition or disability to the DVLA:

• when you apply for your driving licence
• if you develop a condition or a disability and already have a driving licence

The DVLA will decide if you:

• need to get a new driving licence
• can have a shorter licence which is reviewed at the end of the licence period
• can drive but using a specialist vehicle or with adaptations to your car
• are unable to drive/must give up your licence

You may have to have an examination or take an assessment before they make the final decision.
