Hi all *edited due to being posted on another thread, I'm not a bot, I am a human being (but tell the DVLA that )
First-time offender here who's 6-month reduction was entirely swallowed by COVID... shit happens.
I actually applied in January as there was a problem with my previous application, which I had failed due to medication complications (I had been taking a lot of heavy anti-anxiety meds) and not alcohol. So I had a load of GP tests done which they were going to accept, then they decided that they didn't like that idea after all, so had to do another paid medical, by which time we were into lockdown. Anyway I got the letter telling me to arrange during late August, but only after I'd successfully involved my local MP (well worth doing if you feel you're at the back of the queue... there is one, and after 6 months of them twiddling their thumbs, eating cakes, and admiring each others sandals and dragon underpants from a 2m distance, it is long).
8th Sept was my medical (earliest they could do), license received this morning 26th.
So very fast, once you get the medical lined up. Hope this helps... happy sober motoring!!
