I now have to fill in an M1 form and send it to the DVLA to declare my medical condition ... They then write to my consultant and ask for their opinion, I then get a letter with a decision as to whether I get a 1,2, or 3 year restricted license . Or possibly an unrestricted license .

What are the current wait times ? It says 6 weeks on the website but I heard it could be months ?

Does anybody know or should I  contact dvla and ask them ?

It took only 4 days to get my replaced pink license as it went missing ages ago

    The longer you wait and the longer you ask forums to pluck a figure out of the air, the longer it will be before you get your licence.  Why not just get on with it or is there some reason I am missing?  Do you need to know how long the wait time is before applying?

    Yes I'm waiting to speak to my psychiatrist next week before I send it off
