No HGV medical required due to covid

[Mr porky]

As I’m over 45 yet under 65 I have to have a medical every 5 years to ensure I’m fit to drive and keep my HGV licence.
paperwork came through this morning with the medical form that a doctor fills in as well as the usual form to renue my licence.
unfortunately no covid info included but after contacting DVLA through there text bot service I spoke to an adviser who told me a medical is not required this year but it’s only an extension for 1 year.
Im not sure if this is good or bad, yet I understand why they are doing it.

There is another thread about C1 extension.

C1 for over 70 expiring after 31st Dec there is no extension, so renewal is necessary and for those holding a C1 under grandfather rights of having a B licence before 1997 the one year without a medical is not available, one must have the medical, but then get the normal 3 years.
