Your conduct on hgv driving lisense application

Last time I filled it in (2018 ) I found out the day before lisense ran out that it had been sent to t/c ( eastern area ) , after speaking to them it was more for those who hadn’t been to dealt with , court / t/c , t/c office sorted there end in hours as I’d already been dealt with 2017 , but dvsa / company still cost me 2 weeks unpaid until lisense passed , so does anyone know if it’s still the case if you fill in conduct part of form if it gets sent to t/ c office irrespective of how long ago offence /court was ?
I tried speaking to dvla but total waste of time
