Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

Question 1

DVLA advice for obstructive sleep apnoea

Answer 1

If OSA suspected or mild -> don’t drive until symptoms are controlled.
If not controlled within 3 months of diagnosis, inform the DVLA

If OSA is moderate or severe -> inform DVLA immediately and don’t drive. DVLA may allow driving once symptoms controlled.

Applies to group 1 and group 2 drivers.

Once symptom control achieved, group 1 drivers need reviews every 3y.
Group 2 need yearly reviews
