Hey,
If you read the forums you will see that the whole of the UK are suffering from the same delays. People are waiting months for a medical referral, then months for the medical to be carried out. To add insult to injury, they are then waiting months for the medical to be registered then months more for GP referrals!!!!
Well for what it's worth, here is a detailed list of my timeline in getting my licence back (not NI.)

| Called | 19/10/2021 | 96 | Told by handler that everything had been received and was with medical section | ||
| Called | 12/11/2021 | 120 | Told the CDT DR1 form was missing and that Doctor had been contacted - 1.5 hour call | ||
| Called Doctor - Glasgow Medical Rooms | 12/11/2021 | 120 | They sent everything back on the 30th Sept stapled together. They have received NO communication from DVLA regarding missing forms | ||
| Called DVLA again | 13/11/2021 | 121 | Told that 'everything was in hand' and I would be contacted asap. No idea what that means or where this leaves myself. | ||
| Called Doctor to see if DVLA had been in touch with them. | 17/11/2021 | 125 | No contact from DVLA but was told that they had a copy of my form on file and they would Fax it to DVLA today. This is contrary to what they told me last week when they sadi they do not retain copies. This info could have been faxed on the 12/22/2021. Not happy. | ||
| Letter from DVLA dated 16/11/2021 saying they had writtent to my GP. | 19/11/2021 | 127 | Received a letter from DVLA dated the 16th November saying they now had all the information from the Dr. who carried out my DVLA medical and that they had written to my GP for additional health info. Strange that when I called on the 12th November I was told the CDT DR1 from was missing and it was only on the 17th November that Dr. faxed it to the DVLA again. Someone, somewhere is telling porkies. | ||
