Sorry stand corrected just read Dvla again. Website bit confusing to be fare 

The only date of relevance to cat B vehicles towing trailers is now the 19th Jan 2013.

 

If you gained your BE prior to that (test pass or pre 97) then you have no trailer plated weight limit.

After that day you are limited to trailers plated to 3500kg.

 

Realistically it matters not as so few vehicles can tow over 3500kg any way & you need active type brakes not over run.

Yes a D4 medical to send with your renewal that you have to do anyway to keep car licence. You can get your dr to do it or use a d4 medical specialist that will cost lots less.
