Driven to Despair - Report on DVLA medical section

It seems to be business as usual.
In November they said if I made an application my licence would be returned ‘as soon as possible’.
Took a call from them yesterday and they told me that it would be Feb 2017, when I’m due to get it back anyway.
These people have no concept of the stress involved dealing with their incompetent, inept, thoughtless, dishonest actions.
I hope they all had a really rubbish Christmas and properly shabby New Year.
