driving licence

Has anyone had to complete a D1 form? If so how long roughly did it take. I have actually had my license cancelled and sent a D1 form about 2 weeks ago but I have not heard anything back from DVLA? I have tried calling them numerous times but can never get through. Getting worried now as a...
