Lots now
As I’m over 45 yet under 65 I have to have a medical every 5 years to ensure I’m fit to drive and keep my HGV licence.
paperwork came through this morning with the medical form that a doctor fills in as well as the usual form to renue my licence.
unfortunately no covid info included but after contacting DVLA through there text bot service I spoke to an adviser who told me a medical is not required this year but it’s only an extension for 1 year.
Im not sure if this is good or bad, yet I understand why they are doing it.

Is that for a full C HGV or a C1?

There is another thread about C1 extension.

C1 for over 70 expiring after 31st Dec there is no extension, so renewal is necessary and for those holding a C1 under grandfather rights of having a B licence before 1997 the one year without a medical is not available, one must have the medical, but then get the normal 3 years.
