It is a crap system, and I sympathise. While they merrily left me hanging on driving around worriedly on Section 88 for a year, I watched as other people on here applied after I did, got medicals before I did, got license and back before I did while I was still scratching my ass and waiting. There really seems no logic to their processes at all. I often even wondered at one point if they literally shuffle their files for a laugh.
Also I wonder if the call handler you get through to themself makes any difference. I only say that because - right before I finally got my full license back - I placed (yet another) a call with them and very sarcastically asked if I should send another application for the following year, because the one pending had taken that long and (in my own words) ‘clearly you’re struggling and I want to help you out’. Full license back literally no more than 2 weeks later.
