Further update and some success.
Following day actually got myself in a queue to talk to a human. Who put me in another queue to talk to another human.
After 45 minutes informed that they had received my documentation. it was being processed and the Medical Unit had sent out a Medical Declaration Form.
So it appears that because I had ticked the 'Have you had an eye operation Yes/No' and I responded Yes they had passed to Medical Unit which I understand.
Couple of days later said form V1 arrives which doesn't really cater for a historical cataract procedure but does for a whole host of other eye conditions. Inquires who my GP is, despite being referred by Opticians with no GP intervention, and whole host of other questions - dates, Consultant's details etc which I cant recall. However a quick call to our local eye hospital and all queries answered. I was fully expecting the 'Data Protection' routine and can you write in but it was not an issue.
Final question can you read a number plate from 20M uncorrected/corrected etc.
Form completed with a covering letter to cover up any potential ambiguities.
I'm thinking that the only relevant part for my circumstances is the the final question which is all you are asked to declare in any event with a standard licence.
Can't beat a bit of bureaucracy. They claim that it could be another 6 weeks. So that's around 4 months in total if there are no other hiccups.
They do appear to be having staffing issues for one reason or another.
