Re: Am I going to get denied for a medical condition?
I don't think cancer meds apply either. Once more another bit of info the government doesn't need to know. The way and where the question is listed it looks like the DPS is asking if someone is on meds for physiological reasons.

Re: Am I going to get denied for a medical condition?
I wouldn't call or ask DPS. This subject has arisen many times on this forum with no consensus. The same thing will happen if you contact DPS. The answer you get will depend on who answers the phone.

Re: Am I going to get denied for a medical condition?
I wouldn't bother putting it on your application. It's medication not an addiction. Otherwise are people who take insulin suppose to put that on there. They are not your doctor so its none of their business. It's never good to invite extra scrutiny from the government than necessary. Then your inviting a denial and/or extra red tape and fees and doctor visits. In my case I have a medical condition that I don't list on my driver's license. When I turned 16 it took at least an extra 6 to 8 months to get my driver's license. All because I (actually my parents) informed the state of this. I learned my lesson and when I moved to different states I don't mention it. This has saved a lot of time, red tape, and cost. I've done this three different times now. When anyting has happened the doctor said not to drive for X amount of time and I follow his orders. Moral of the story is don't tell. You'll end up wasting time and money. Never tell the government anything that will invite extra attention.
