Form MED 13GF. Skill Performance Evaluation Certificate Application (Grand Fathered) - Virginia

Form MED 13GF - Skill Performance Evaluation Certificate Application (Grandfathered) is a specialized version of Form MED 13. It is intended for Virginia commercial driver's license (CDL) applicants who are "grandfathered," meaning they were previously granted a CDL exemption due to missing or impaired limbs but need to apply for a Skill Performance Evaluation Certificate to maintain their CDL privileges.

This form is specific to CDL applicants who have been granted an exemption before and need to continue their CDL privileges under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's rules.

As with Form MED 13, the parties involved in this form include CDL applicants with missing or impaired limbs and qualified medical professionals conducting the skill performance evaluations.

The key fields and important information required in this form are similar to those in Form MED 13, including personal information, details about the applicant's medical condition, and any relevant medical documentation. Accuracy and completeness are essential for the evaluation process and maintaining CDL privileges.

An example scenario for using Form MED 13GF would be a commercial driver who previously received a CDL exemption due to a missing limb. To continue operating commercial vehicles, the driver needs to apply for a Skill Performance Evaluation Certificate. The driver would complete Form MED 13GF, providing details about their medical history and the necessary medical documentation. A qualified medical professional would then conduct the skill performance evaluation to determine the driver's ability to safely operate a commercial vehicle and decide whether to continue the CDL privileges with appropriate restrictions.

When completing this form, it is essential for the applicant to provide accurate and comprehensive information about their medical history and condition. Compliance with the evaluation process is crucial to ensure the safety and competence of the CDL holder in operating commercial vehicles.

Related forms for CDL applicants with disabilities may exist in other states, but the specific requirements and procedures may vary from those in Virginia.
