I can't renew my driving licence and the DVLA hasn't got back to me. What do I do?

Is there any further news from DVLA regarding licence renewals for 70 year olds' photo licence? I am still unable to obtain a photo. My birthday is 6 June, which is getting ever nearer. I first wrote to you a month ago.

Unfortunately, the DVLA hasn't come back to us with any answers. We're getting lots of similar questions from other readers. We plan to update once we have some answers.
