HRM depends upon your ability to walk (without pain/exhaustion etc), not your ability to drive.
Some (all?) areas give buss passes to people who have been, or would be, refused a driving licence by DVLA on medical grounds but I don't think this fits your circumstances.

As moderators, we can only advise on ESA entitlement and the like, and not how it affects your ability to drive.
You need to contact the DVLA see Medical Information
This is not really a benefits question, as the Subject states, it's about driving. Therefore I'm locking this thread, which means members will not be able to submit further replies.
Please read the areas we can cover before posting queries which are not benefits related which are at the top of each forum thread :
Share questions and results for DLA & ESA claim forms, medicals and appeals.
Thank you for your cooperation.
