2 weeks ago a friend who let his LGV licence lapse 15 years ago when he was due a medical.
He Completed a medical form sent of his licence and got his LGV licence back.
So it’s a fact you can let your lgv licence expire and re-apply and get it back there is no time limit as yet but this could change in the future.
I am sure this has been mentioned before.

I did the same thing. I renewed my licence last year by sending off the medical form 9 years after I should have had my first medical. As I had never used my licence since passing my class 1 I didn’t bother keeping it valid by taking the medical at 45. I decided it would be a good idea to have a spare string to my bow last year so I took the medical and bob’s your aunty’s brother. Shiny new photo card with lots of entitlements duly appeared through the letterbox.
No sooner did I get it the recession kicks in and the work drys up. Good job my real work is getting busier eh?

the Dcpc will kill off this in the future
unless people do the periodic training and i cant see that happening

The PDCPC will have no effect on this issue as it is a sepertate entity.
The ‘LICENCE’ gives the holder the right to drive a vehicle in the stated class for which it refers to.
The ‘PDCPC’ gives the driver the right to drive the above for ‘Hire or Reward’.
==================================================
I like PDCPC - much better than writing Periodic Driver Certificate of Professional Competence 
There is also IDCPC - Initial Driver Certificate of Professional Competence
why would they get rid of something they’ve not long implemented,
it used to be three years now its indefinate
