I am now 70 and still use my PCV licence. I sent my licence in for its annual renewal by registered post (signed for) on 24th April 2023 and it was received at DVLA on 26th April 2023. I still haven’t received it back and have, with great difficulty, managed to talk to an advisor twice. The problem seems to be that my licence is with the “health” section and they simply cannot be reached.

I had a completely clear D4 medical check and the doctor told me that I had passed the medical. I am fit. I don’t understand why my licence is in the “health” section, waiting.

Can I continue to drive? My D4 medical was passed and there is no reason I am not fit to drive. When I check on GOV.UK site and search for, as advised, “can I still drive” it tells me that I should not have any medical problems but my licence is in the “health check” department of DVLA so I don’t know what to do. Can you please advise?
