Renewing driving licence.

I have a short period driving licence, which is due to expire (I passed my test 2 years ago almost, and it lasts 2 years).
I've recently had all necessary forms, and was wondering if anyone else who has had their licence renewed has encountered any problems whilst doing so. I go on holiday next week for a week, and plan to send all the forms off when I get back so I can send my passport (current licence doesn't expire until August), so I have a couple of weeks to send it off, so any advice would be appreciated.
I was just wondering, for example, how often they get in contact with your doctor/hospital consultant, because I don't really want any delays in this. Anyone had any problems?

Also, on the forms, it keeps referring back to "INFID" ("see section * on INFID"), but I have no idea what this is and whether it'll help me to see it? I've had no booklets or anything.

Thanks for any help.

    I infer that you’re the holder of a short period driving licence that needs to be reviewed due to a medical condition - because of your reference to contacting doctor/hospital.

    You may find this page on the DVLA/Direct.gov website helpful:

    http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/DriverLicensing/NeedANewOrUpdatedLicence/DG_4022092

    It covers "When to expect your licence".

    Oh, and INFID is not INFID but INF1D, the number of a booklet which the direct.gov website says covers help and guidance on completing the D1 application form. It is, seemingly, available at most Post Office® branches.

    If anyone has had experience of any complications during this process, I'd like to hear them.
