How can anyone help you on here? You obviously need to speak to the DVLA.
I just got mine and I only applied 2 weeks ago and that includes the time it took for them to send me a form and me to then send back the form

Would they accept an expired passport as proof of identity? (It'll take around 3-4 weeks for the passports to get back and then I'd have to apply for provisional etc.)

I've just changed address on my first provisional licence for the first time. I got told to cut up the old one and send it back to them. How long will it take to get the new one back with changed address

20 working days I believe, though it's likely 20 working days after they receive your old one. Don't quote me on the last part, though I'm pretty sure it's 20 working days, it's just a question of when those 20 days start.

... That or up to 20 working days.

I called the DVLA and was told that if you have or have had a medical condition that could effect your application expect to wait 4 - 5 months start to finish!!!!

It will take at least 3 months. Don't listen to anybody who says it'll take a week or two because trust me it won't. I applied for mine back in January and still got nothing so yeah it'll take a good few month
