Dont know about the fee but:

If they drive heavy goods vehicles or buses as part of their work, the DVLA rules are much stricter. They must notify DVLA and the licence will be revoked for at least 12 months after stroke or TIA. Further testing and assessment will be required and an additional medical assessment called the Exercise Tolerance Test for cardiovascular fitness before this type of licence can be issued
