Not trying to hijack here but since my situation was quite similar I've made a post on it but I'm just asking for some advice in regards to checking if my licence has been issued after failing to provide.
Got hit with a 17 month ban and a £800 something fine.
NOW:
•I did the high risk offenders paper work sent over 2 months ago
• completed DVLA medical on the 5th of October and have been waiting since
•Have barely drank if at all since my ban so I am not worried at all about my CDT levels.
•Called on the next week Thursday asking for my results and told I can't have them which is weird. I was told that DVLA have all paper work and my bloody sample and just need to make a decision. I explained to the advisor after he asked me why do you need to know so quickly that my ban is up at the end of the month and currently it's taking me almost 2.5-3hours traveling on public transport each way to work and sometimes I am missing days due to disruptions and might possibly lead to me losing my job! He told me he will put these as special notes to consider and if they could they might be able to take this into account and issue a decision quicker.
Well I checked today on the online licence checker and I'm not quite sure if what I'm seeing means they have issued me with a licence!... It says ban till 31st of October but under it says Valid from 01/11/2022 and then Expires 31/10/2032 which is 10 years. Does this mean they have made a decision and have issued me with a 10 year licence!? It also states the vehicles I can drive as well as my conviction and my points of 0 on other tabs.
Could ANYONE please confirm that this is confirmation that they have given me a 10 year licence and I am finally at the end of this long road as I am a bit confused and a few posters on here said when they checked it themselves it said "full driving licence" but mine doesn't say that, it still just says I'm banned which is where I'm a bit confused.
P.s thanks everyone on here. You don't know it but all of your words and advice I read help me and still do help me get through some tough times
