How long does it take to get my medical driving licence renewed?

Had my DVLA medical for medical driving licence renewal six weeks ago, how long before it is processed?

The DVLA does not provide processing times for medical driving licence applications. However, as a guide I can tell you that the aim is for 90 per cent of medical driving licence applications to be processed within 90 days. The DVLA expects to reach this target in September.
