Sent my renewal back in May. I asked around to see how long it would take and the time frame was all over the place. Some people it took 8 weeks, others 18 months. Seems like the DWP just pluck random names rather than doing it in some kind of sensible order.
I’d just be happy with the extension letter at this point, then i can cancel my current order (Astra) and pick a car more suitable.
