Here's my timescale this year, for a renewal of a 1yr license (got my license back last year but only for a year): Late February got the renewal letter and medical questionnaire, returned them the same day; late March got a letter saying they were contacting my GP; start of May they said they were making a decision and would contact me soon. Finally got my license back 27th June - again for just 1yr despite being teetotal and having regular GP check-ups and blood tests throughout the previous year. So roughly you can expect every single stage to average a minimum of 6 weeks :-(
