Expired driving licence

DW has just seen her driving licence expired in Jan of this year!!

She's going to the PO tomorrow to renew but will she be able to continue driving during the application?

I'm trying to find the answer and see if it expired whilst the application is being processed you can continue driving, not not clear if it expires before renewal.

Thanks

    What's expired her entitlement to drive or the photo?

    4b on the licence.
    So I believe that's the licence itself as its just hit a 10 year point...

    In that case as long as the licence isn't restricted then it's valid until 70 years old.

    There is an offence of driving otherwise than in accordance but it doesn't carry points.

    Can she not renew online/ it will be cheaper and quicker. 

    She does need a valid UK passport to renew online.
