11th March - sent off D1 form
23rd April - received letter to book medical
12th March - had medical
*Around half a dozen calls ensued over the next few months chasing the DVLA. There weren’t any problems as such, just the COVID/strike delays we’ve all been subject to*
20th July - full 10-year licence issued.
I can see the licence has been issued from checking online, I haven’t had the physical card through the door yet. The DVLA did not contact my GP. I abstained for six weeks prior to the medical, and before that was drinking max a bottle of wine a week (more often than not, less than this). I have no mental health history or anything else that would raise a flag.
I can’t thank all of you enough on this forum for getting me through the worst two years of my life. Now, finally, onto the next chapter.
Wishing all of you still waiting the very best of luck, hang in there, it’ll all work out eventually.
