Waiting for medical driving licence, what can I do?

I have been waiting for my medical restricted driving licence with the previous one expiring in June. The licence has been restricted due to same condition since 2016.

A few weeks ago DVLA wrote to say as I had new medical condition they required additional information, which I had supplied since 2016, but which I nevertheless sent again.

Driving is my lifeline and with this delay in not getting my new licence is having tremendous impact on me.

I suggest you make a formal complaint. You could also try contacting your local MP as this has been successful for some readers.
