My step dad is a truck driver. in March of 2023 he got sick and went to the hospital, and they said it might have been a stroke.  The official diagnosis is actually has a question mark on it.  The DOT took away his medical card and told him to try again in one year.   However, he has been to several other doctors including a neurologist, and all have cleared him to drive a truck once again with no evidence of a stroke happening. With the original diagnosis being a misdiagnosis, does he qualify to get his medical card back or does he still have to wait out the one year time span?

​

If he does qualify to get it back, does he need to get a new physical, or just send the paperwork to the DOT showing he is cleared?
