Those waiting for their driving licence to arrive have been warned they may have a longer wait.
This comes after an investigation by the National Audit Office (NAO) looked into the management of backlog applications in the wake of the pandemic. As restrictions came into force around the UK, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) were not able to process paper applications and many of the staff weren't allowed in the office, naturally causing a delay.
The report stresses that the DVLA has been processing standard driving licences at normal levels following the backlog that resulted from the pandemic, however there are still delays in applications from drivers with medical conditions, according to the National Audit Office.
