I have heard of the downgrades when renewing of licences. I wonder if the post office would know.
I know of a policeman that renewed his licence and they took motorbikes off. His job was on a police motorbike. Took a while to get it rectified and couldn't do his job.
Maybe worth a call yo thr DVLA to make sure thing stay on that you need.

Found this keep your entitlements and update every 3 years and medical checks might need updating?
For towing, drivers must ensure they have the correct category of licence. For example, if you passed your car test before 1 January 1997, you will normally keep your existing entitlements to drive a vehicle with a trailer, with a combined weight of 8.25 tonnes until your licence runs out at age 70. If you passed your car test on or after 1 January 1997, you must pass an extra driving test to get entitlement to drive categories C1, C1E, C, CE, D1, D1E, D, DE.
If you have a motorhome or wish to tow a caravan, there are specific restrictions and requirements that have come into effect that may affect your ability to drive. It is crucial to renew your licence on time and to ensure you have the necessary medical examination report if required.

Gov driving licence restrictions for over 70 and can they tow a vehicle
In the UK, drivers aged 70 and over must renew their driving licence every three years instead of the standard ten-year cycle. This renewal process is based on self-declaration of medical fitness rather than mandatory medical examinations. However, the existing requirements still apply, and drivers must inform the DVLA of any medical conditions that could affect their driving ability.For towing, drivers must ensure they have the correct category of licence.
