Challenge DVLA - lost entitlements on licence renewals

Challenge DVLA - lost entitlements on licence renewals

The Issue

For over 10 years, DVLA have been sending new licences to recipients with the wrong entitlements, in many cases drivers losing categories they have rightfully passed and rely upon to both make a living and for personal use. On investigating this myself I have come across numerous cases, specifically A licence category holders such as myself who after riding motorbikes for nearly 50 years now find myself without my A licence entitlement. DVLA will not provide any help or assistance in this matter nor will they accept photocopies of licences, only pass certificates or previous licences, all of which are sent to DVLA to renew or update entitlement. I would like to raise this as major fault on behalf of DVLA who will not take responsibility for their failings leaving many honest hard working people unable to access vehicles they previously relied on to make a living. On the small investigations I have carried out, I was outraged to learn how popular this problem is and how many honest people it is effecting. Mr Cameron - please order an investigation of DVLA's failings and demand they rightfully return all entitlements to drivers across the country.
