Renewing hgv class 1 & digi card at same time

Hi there, just wondered if any of you know this…I was 45 January 2012 didn’t renew my licence, my digi card also expired March 2012, now I have my medical this Friday ( Feb 15th 2013) which hopefully I will pass, when I send off the D4 & renewal form can I send off for new digi card aswell or will I have to wait until I receive my licence back & then send it off again for new digi card? many thanks if you could answer this for me, Cornish Trucker.
