Haven’t posted for a long time. But was a regular on here.
My driving lic is up for renewal. I don’t need the hgv part just yet so if I tick Box B will I be able to just have a medical in the future to get my entitlement back? Would rather not have medical just yet for personal reasons. Thanks In advance.
Tick B and you HGV entitlement will Bgone
I take it you are over 70?
If you tick A will your B licence be renewed and your C will just be awaiting medical?
I turn 50 in January.

Ya don’t have to be over 70, I did that at 55 back end of 2019 as whole licence was showing expired on DVLA so renewed without medical as taxi driver licence was due October, had a panic as I thought I was driving with an invalid car licence, got hgv back early 2020 with medical fortunately as cabbing died a death after 1st lockdown.
Heres my licence.
Dumb question: why not just renew the licence if you think you’ll want it in the future?
If you give up the entitlement, don’t you need to re-train/re-test to get it back■■? Sounds like more and avoidable work to me.
LGV expires 26/11/21
If you do not submit a D4 form then you will not have a valid LGV after that above date until you send in a D4 form - simple as that

Just renew your photo. Stay away from any paper form, do it online.

Your C and CE will be removed until you are ready to submit the medical form, then they will be reinstated.
I would promise to return my licence but never do, keep it to prove your entitlement, If there is ever a mistake in future.

Doesn’t want to for temporary medical reasons.
If he knows he doesn’t want Hgv for 5 years then medical would be waste of time and money.
Looks like i can’t do it online.
Ineligible for service
Sorry…
You are not eligible to apply for this service.
To renew your licence you will need to apply with a D2 application form.
Application forms are available from the online form ordering section of the DVLA website.

If you give up your entitlement this year - there’s a good chance they’ll action it immediately, and then not bother to answer the phone should you ever try to get it back again…
I’m wondering how much we get to sue the DVLA for, should our renewed licences now not come back until 2022 for medicals done this past summer just gone…

Oh, sorry 
Looks like a medical, can you really not pass at the minute?
Get the medical and done with. Why get the hassle of getting it back when you can do it once
