Pacemaker and Insurance and DVLA

I had my pacemaker fitted in 2009 I am positive I let DVLA know but did not think I had to tell Insurance as it has been so long will they stop me from driving. I am sure I told DVLA but who do I ask yo check.
I would appreciate your help with this.

As long as DVLA have been informed you do not need to tell your insurer.

I phoned DVLA up and they're sending me a form to fill in, although you can download it from the internet (Form H1) - have you completed one of these?

I informed my vehicle insurer and they said as long as there's no restriction by DVLA or hospital my insurance isn't affected.

Thank you so much for your advice I have downloaded the form and filled it in. I may have already told DVLA cannot remember though and it was December 2008 looked on my little pocket it is in.
I am phoning Insurance in the morning to let them know.I am afraid I thought that it was always on record for insurances but apparently I have to tell them every year. But so glad I found this sight.

By the way for the person who has had a fall I had one in January fell head first down stairs and my pacemaker was sited right over and painful. but no damage.

You know you're wired when...

Like the Energizer Bunny, you keep going.
