If sending anything to the DVLA , Send by recorded post and keep your recipe safe . keep a scan of the licence that you send in

Hundred of Motorcyclists lost their Motorbike category on their licences not long ago, one rider lost his job until he took another driving test on his bike as he was a bike instructor.

As North Star said, Always photocopy your licence before renewing to be safe.

OK guys,
Thanks a lot for your help, I did actually make a photo copy, and I even kept the old licence as it was very tatty fom being in my wallet for 34 years, although I have held the lcence since 1956, It was renewed in 1974,and that is the one I have until this day, as well as the new card type,
Maybe as well that I kept it then,
I kept it as i was proud to have had a clean licence for 50 odd years, and then I went and got a fixed penalty for speeding in 2006, doing 34 in a 30 area,
Sh1t happens eh.
