Changes to medical driving licence and links to DWP

I have received a medical form from the DVLA asking me to fill in the details of my conditions and medication and return it to them as my current medical licence is due to expire. I noticed some recent changes to the form as it asked the following questions:

1) do you require assistance with daily living?
2) do you need to be prompted to take medication?
3) can you work household appliances such as a cooker or a washing machine?

I had previously filled in a form in the summer as I had a new diagnosis. The consultant has only just filled in his part due to illness and a lost form. I checked back on my form from the summer and those questions did not appear.

Does this mean that the DWP are the DVLA are working more closely to share and verify information on claimants?
