Renewed my medical driving licence in March 2021 and still waiting, what can I do?
I applied to renew my medical driving licence back in March 2021. As I hadn't owned a car for a while a couple of years had passed since it expired. I have received forms to fill in about my medical condition but am still (July 2022) waiting for my licence. I have managed to get through a couple of times on the phone to enquire about it but each time have been told it's awaiting a decision.

As you have been waiting more than a year I would suggest progressing this to a formal complaint as waiting 14 months is unacceptable.
Alternatively, you could write to your local MP asking them to make a complaint on your behalf.
