Do not wait for your D47P personalised renewals form to arrive from Swansea, it’ll be too late…
Another warning is that the waiver from last year doesn’t extend your licence by 1 year from the previous expiry, but only 1 year from the application date. Eg: in my case last expiry August, new one July.
DVLA only sent forms 2 weeks ago, booked medical for beginning of July (first Sat I could get, needed due to working nights), then realised the above. Now could be royally stuffed if work don’t accept section 88 unless DVLA get a major shift-on which they really need to do for everyones sake.
