IIRC most of the problems involved people with the old paper licences
applying for the newer photo type.

Don't send it. Apply or a new license with a shiny new photo and tell them
you've lost your original. When your new (and fully entitled) license
arrives, you can then either bin your old one, return it to the DVLA with a
"Ohh look, I found it" note or just stick it in a drawer in case you lose
your new one.

Just got mine back today having sent it off a couple of
weeks ago to have the picture updated. These new fangled
ones are a pretty colour! All the details came back correct,
and I'd only taken a photocopy as proof.
