Hi Nancy does he have an ordinary licence and does neuro state its ok for him to drive see link this may help - i always go by functioning and in this case is it relapse and remitting ?? sorry i am vague however given the situation is unpredictable with the information in your post i would be guarded at this stage until i knew more about what was going on see the attached link its worth phoning the MS society they may be able to help you - the risk he would have would mainly be to himself unless he works with others if so can they not do the forklift duties or have someone assigned to them i would do a medical anyway to assess findings from screening and take it from there http://www.mssociety.org.uk/ms-support/practical-and-financial-help/ driving-and-dvla steph nicoll On 5 Jan 2012, at 21:08, Nancy Caruana wrote: > Hi All > How often would you recommend forklift driver medicals or health > surveillance should be carried out?
