She had entered end-of-life care and I relied on my car to get to her, but it hadn’t returned the licence
Our daughter, who has cancer, entered end-of-life care on Christmas Eve. I am a carer for her and her two young children.
We both live in rural villages with no public transport options, so I need a car to get to her at short notice, but last summer, out of the blue, the DVLA told me I could not drive until December and revoked my licence.
It has not returned it and, as a consequence, I was unable to get there in time to babysit so her husband could accompany her on two late-night trips to A&E.
I am about to lose my daughter and I worry about being able to be with her when she dies, or to care fully for her children when she is no longer here.
