Does anyone know if Royal Mail stop people driving official vehicles for certain medical conditions and if so, does anyone have a list of such conditions?

I would have thought that if your GP signs that you are capable of driving safely then there should be no problems.

I get the impression that the business are not really interested in what peoples GP say any more

Yeah, but if they want to take me off driving duties then that's OK with me

All the DVLA requires is your GP to sign that you are fit to drive then that should be the end of it (RM is a law onto itself so you could be right).
