Finally got the dreaded letter telling me I have had my driving licence restricted to a 3 year licence. However it has taken them 10 months to sort it out, I started on insulin in September last year, and told DVLA as soon as I got put on insulin, and then I had my LGV revoked in December and finally got told today that I have just been issued a 3 year licence and can I send my old licence to them to alter things however I sent that back to them in December, so the question is how long did it take them to sort your licence out

Type 1 diagnosed, forms filled in, licence altered, old one returned & new 3 year licence issued ... within 6 weeks.
 
From originally telling them and sending old licence off about 5~6 weeks, just sent renewals yesterday so wil wait and see how that goes.

Sent mine away 2 months ago, still waiting. When I sent an email to them after 6 weeks I was basically told that due to a backlog of applications they hadn't even assessed my form yet....they were quick enough to cash the cheque I had to send with my application for change of address and new photo. They cashed that in a week! :-(

To be fair that sounds about for DVLA

10 months but that was for LGV to be fair. Renewal due in 3 months time so fingers crossed this time. LGV license is only valid for 1 year !!
 
To be fair I have to wait to get my lgv back and then that's another fight but with the dcpc and ADR all due this year and I have to pay for them myself I'm not sure if I'm going to bother to be honest mo

HGV has been revoked and it is normally a year licence

Yes I am in the Same boat just getting better readings no lows just don't know if it is worth it too many regs coming in and all cost u Money plus hourly wage is getting harder to find decent company willing to pay still weighing it all up but on the plus side the sunshine is great not missing work at all !

Sent my form's off correctly over 3 weeks ago .
So I 'thought' at the time was a simple licence renewal form .

Recieved a letter last week asking me to complete
the diabetic/medical application form in - they had 'forgotten to include this in' "tut"

So filled this in plus wrote a note grumbling over this NOT
being included in with my forms in the first place :banghead: .

Posted all back to swansea last weekend .
Still awaiting the outcome since ...
Licence renewal is due in sept - so hope I am sorted 'soon' .
