Hello chaps and lasses. Quite glad Google picked this site, seems full of helpful info!
Anyhow, to the questions. After over 2 years of driving buses and hating every minute of it I decided to take the plunge and do my Cat C, the theory is out the way 54/65 
NOW, do I need to submit another D4 when I already have provisional C on my licence?
Any idea’s?
As you’ve already got a provisional C you won’t need to submit another medical.
Not that I am away
You can check with DVLA 0870 600 0301 you will want option 2 that is the medical section

As you are now in the LGV/PCV system and only need a medical when you are 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 66, 67…
AND Welcome to trucknetUK
Welcome to the madhouse
From the DfT website…
Extra rules for applications to drive larger vehicles over 3,500kgs, minibuses (between 9 and 16 seats) and buses
Under the following circumstances, a D4 medical report form, completed by a medical practitioner, will also need to be returned with your application to DVLA.
you are applying for entitlement to drive larger vehicles over 3500kg, minibuses (between 9 and 16 seats) and buses for the first time
you are a car licence holder applying to renew category C1 and or D1
you are renewing your LGV or PCV driving entitlement on or after the age of 45 and at five yearly intervals until the age of 65, (if you are aged between 45 and 65 and have been issued with a medical short period licence, then you only need send in a D4 form if you have not done so within the last five years
