Semi / automatic cars and the law (UK)?

Question:
My friend is disabled and is licenced to drive automatic cars only.
He asked me if he's allowed to drive semi-autos: those with paddle-shift gearchanges. I don't know! Can you help?

Apparently an automatic gearbox from DVLA's point of view is one that requires "no input from the driver" in normal driving; in other words a conventional auto box that you just put in "Drive". I asked them for clarification & they said that those 'boxes where you still change gear, albeit without a clutch, are not considered automatics.
