DVLA delays regarding a medical problem - can anyone help me?

I've been waiting for months to hear back from the DVLA regarding a medical problem and whether I can continue to drive. Can anyone please help me?

We have been inundated with requests to contact the DVLA recently so I'm afraid I can't contact them on your behalf.

If you have tried phoning the DVLA without success, you could try writing to the DVLA medical department: Drivers' Medical Enquiries, DVLA, Swansea SA99 1TU or progress this to a formal complaint via the Gov.uk website.

Another option is to contact your local MP, who may take this up with the DVLA on your behalf.
