What are the current delays at the DVLA regarding processing medical-restricted driving licences?

Asked on 10 June 2022 by Paul

Answered by Sarah Tooze
Unfortunately the DVLA does not publish the current delays for medical licences but we are aware of people waiting for several months or, in extreme cases, more than a year.

The DVLA has said that by the end of September it expects to process 90 per cent of medical licence applications within 90 days.
