Fill out the D2 by ticking boxes C and D to give you both entitlements even if you only want the one. Search on line for LGV PCV medicals for a local specialist doctor that will be much cheaper than your own GP for completion your D4 medical form. Once completed send them to the DVLA (application is FREE) and in 10 days it will be returned. You can now drive a lorry as a learner.
