Waiting six months for my medical driving licence - what can I do?
I have been waiting for nearly six months to get my new licence back, the medical team are so slow. My new employer is getting impatient that I have no licence as their insurance company need to see a valid licence. What should I do?

I would suggest making a formal complaint to the DVLA about the delay with your licence application. Failing that, you could also try writing to your local MP.
