NO
A LGV C1 gained before 1997 has an expiry date of age 70 but a D4 LGV medical must be taken and passed to continue driving that C1 after age 70
A LGV C1 gained by passing a DSA LGV test is subject to the normal LGV medical rules
Those who passed car test before 1997 and then went on to pass the HGV class 1/2/3 or LGV C1/C DSA test will have two C1s on the licence but only the one with the longest expiry date is shown due to space available on the licence and that C1 is a sub category of C

I’ve moved your post to where I think it will receive more answers. dd. 
It’ll run to you’re 70 without need for a medical. Incidentally you’ve posted this in the ex-pat section (?)
