Had a medical at 45…
What happens at 50 though, since I hit that later this year…?
Does anything happen renewal-wise automatically, or am I effectively disqualified on expiry day?

Well if your entitlement expires then you can’t drive what does you licence say… Be a medical
Had my medical last year, 3months after turning 55. Officially, lost my HGV entitlement for that duration. Sailed through the medical 60 quid after a bit of shopping around. 3 weeks later, licences back and no change of entitlement.
Good luck with yours.
Or you could bypass having a medical, and change your photo on your licence, but only if you haven’t had a new/replacement licence since October 2012.

Thanks for the replies folks…
I’ve just been on the DVLA website, and it says “I cannot renew online if it’s a five-year ticket” about to expire" which it is alas. 
Dunno why my C+E entitlement is expiring this year, whereas my wagon & drag (which I’ve never done) apparently expires when I’m 70.
The DVLA number I just called managed to put me through to Scottish Power as well. 
I have no idea how much the other 0843 number will cost me to call - I’m informed I’ll be “kept hanging on for ages at a premium rate”…

check online and see if that is correct re the W&D because it seems odd to me - could be an out of date entitlement still left there for no reason = gov.uk/view-driving-licence
Try changing the photo at a PO set up for it ASAP

Ah - he meant C1 with trailer not what we would deem a W&D in the general sense being a C with a trailer 
The 107 code 8250 refers to the total of the plated MAM/GVW weights not the GTW/actual weight like the 12000 for the full C1E

What link you looking at?
It is simple.
After 45 y. U need medical every 5y on c class 1 and 2.
Do your medical complete d2 form and send it before expiry date.
U will keep yer hgv as long as yer medical allows u.
B u need medical every year after u hit 70.
Yes, I’ve got C1+E with the 107 restriction, but full C entitlement until I’m 70, but C+E entitlement expiring this autumn…
When I originally passed, it was on C+E (I never did a seperate C test) and I always assumed the 107 restriction was like the “grandfather rights” thing.
The website mentions “free renewal for lorry drivers” but not if that includes a photo update? I would imagine that perhaps you can’t do it on line, because emailed Jpeg mugshots are not valid documents, 'coz they could have come from anyone and be of anybody! 
The big question still remains - why is my C+E entitlement for which I’ve passed a test going to run out long before my C entitlement, for which I have not?
Perhaps I should just toddle off to the local post office counters place (dunno where that is now, so many around here have closed down…) and pick up the relevant
form number, probably something like
delta-charlie-tango-foxtrot-zero-zero-zero-star-star-hash-brown… “b” “iiii”

That’s not right - did you mean full C1 until age 70
C and CE will expire at the same time
Looks like a bobo in dvla system.
C and CE are in same rules setup.
D2 for lgv renewal.
Medical
Add picture if u have to.
Price if any will be on D2 form.
Medical is a ■■■■■ and can cost more than less.
Shop around. Prices do vary from 40 to 150.

You’re quite correct on a second look…
C+E and C expire in autumn,
C1+E and C1 expire when I’m 70.
So everyone else’s is the same then?
I see what he’s on about now
