Still nothing. Really frustrating

Unfortunately there's still no progress, it's being reviewed by the " medical team " apparently 

Knowing how badly the office was hit with Covid - the medical team are probably still off sick. They still seem to be playing catch-up. 

After nearly 18 months the Covid-19 excuse is getting a little bit tiresome.
My opinion only.

There have been regular 4 day strikes since April. Last one was 24-28 May.

There were long delays for medical applications long before Covid.

I've created an account just to post here because I've had endless issues like so many of you, and have finally found the solution: Don't press any of the options, just let it go through the menu several times, and then it will put you in a queue to speak to and advisor. You might have to wait a bit, but at least you'll be in the queue, not told to hang up because all the advisors are busy. I got through on 03007906802. The first person I spoke to had to put me through to a different department, so I was on hold twice, in total for about 45 minutes. Good luck!

Still nothing. Sent it off in November 2020.
I phoned them up a couple of weeks back and they said as it's been so long they will " chase it up "
I then phoned back a few days later and they'd sent a second letter, this time to my GP to ensure I had no physical problems which I don't. GP has sent it back on Tuesday.

Phoned up DVLA again today ( seem to be able to get through now to speak to them at least ) and they said it can take up to 2 weeks to receive the post from RM. Then up to 3-4 weeks to  read the questionnaire as they receive " 60,000 " letters each day.
And then upto 10 days before it is scanned into the system.
