The CAA have been unundated with applications for licences.
I can tell you that as at Monday 28th July they were processing applications received on 7th July.
Once your fee has been debited to your credit card and/or receipt issued, this marks the spot where your application has been accepted as being "correct". The license is then "loaded" for printing which takes I believe another week to 10 days.
...my fee was taken on Wednesday and hopefully now only a short wait.
nb. the above is from "inside" knowledge and hope it helps !
