The DVLA get all sorts of stick, so I thought I'd tell of a couple of experiences, from last Year and this.
Last year got fed up with the enhanced VED for our 4400Kg motorhome because it was registered on the day of the 2020 budget when they did away with diesel car description for what is a Private Heavy Goods vehicle. (circa £500 as opposed to £165)
Chatted with DVLA and advised to send in change of weight form + photos of the Vin and weight plates. Vehicle now classed as PHGV at very much reduce VED.
Recently due another +70 licence renewal, D2 & D4. posted a couple of weeks before Christmas. Thursday before Christmas (19th) DVLA returns my forms as the Doctor had missed 2 check boxes. Doc from local Surgery was a locum so our normal Dr. marked check boxes, countersigned them and added a covering letter to explain the different signatures.
DVLA had included a prepaid envelope with notes on it to direct it to the person who had started the licence renewal process.
Posted the forms on New Years Eve and Today received my new licence.
Thank You DVLA
