Yes they have put in the general medical form they send to all new licence holders and any others on restricted licences. My Landlord had the same minus the diabetes related form and he's on a 3 year age related licence.

It always used to be just the diabetes form that was sent out.

WELL GOT LETTER TODAY DVLA, today I received a letter from dvla Swansea medical dept,stating that theve received the results from my GP on my medical examination, because ive never had a car or driven for the last 3 years ( which seems to be another nail in a diabetics coffin according to the dvla ) there want me to confirm in writing that I will monitor my blood glucose levels at times relevant to driving .! this is because I have not driven or owned a car for at least 3 years ?
