And I was complaining that they had mine since February. I had a response at the end of April. I guess its a bit of a lotteryI sent my D1 in November and I'm still waiting nearly 6 months now, called yesterday same old response keep an eye on the post
Your right all am hearing is this is whats happening the one year license for, 6 years, like you say better than not having one at qll
After that long I would suggest that you email: Tim.burton@dvla.gov.uk and ask him to look into it. That is way too long.I sent my D1 in November and I'm still waiting nearly 6 months now, called yesterday same old response keep an eye on the post
Thanks price 1367 I will.
I sent my D1 application form on 19th April. Received notification on 10 May that it had been passed to the medical team. As you sent yours on 14th April I wondered if you have received DVLA letter advising booking medical.?I'm really fed up. I've been contacting DVLA via the bot since I submitted my app (14 April) and I can't get through and they are on strike this week ! They haven't cashed my cheque so none the wiser. Meant to have my medical before then and licence back 29 May - not going to happen - but it's not going to be until Oct at this rate. Just needed a moan
Anyone have any tips? for the medical side of it? The 03007906801 number is a dead end this week. I've just tweeted them but it's all queries about driving tests and theory.
They seem to be spending up a tad. I sent my D1 application off, recorded delivery on the 19th Feb. I had a letter dated 16th April (received it a week after the date) telling me to book my medical. Was told be a rather rude practice rectipnist to try again in 2 weeks time when I rung. Rung back a 4th of May and I have my medical next Tuesday the 25th
That's ridiculous. That's nearly 2 months from application submitted to letter for medical. It will be over 3 months once you have your medical and you still have to obtain results. I assume your ban is now due to end now, but due to the length of time you won't be getting you licence anytime soon?
My ban expired 17th of march
My ban is due to expire the day after yours 17.07.21
) I see. So really you should have sent your application in 90 days before your ban was due to expire as advised. e.g 17th December 2020. Well at least it gives me a gauge to go by for the time being.
Fair play. The chap Price advised me to post a normal D1 application form and I'm glad I did because I wouldn't have received a D27 re change of address. Did you do the drink drive awareness course re reduction.? I must admit its a lonely and nervous wait and just want to get my medical out of the way...glad this forum is here otherwise I would go spare.My ban is due to expire the day after yours 17.07.21
Received D27 form April 28th, did not post til 4th May, as had to wait for a cheque book to arrive (refuse to pay for a postal order
Now I feel I've already set myself back a couple weeks! I don't mind a little delay given I've gone this long without driving, just don't want months of delays! But it's out of my hands
I didn't know about the D1 form, but the D27 arrived 9 days after the 90 day mark, so wasn't too bad.
Have
Good luck with medical. By the sounds of things you should sail through re doing abstinence.
Yes I should have. Unfortunately I stupidly left the drink drive rehab course until as late as I could have, and I didn't find out about this forum until I'd almost completed the course.
Seems to be the case with the DVLA dragging their feet. Fingers cross we receive something shortly. Apparently they are recruiting additional staff to deal with backlogs...circa 300.
