CPL licence application & medical status

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help with this question. I've read through LASORS section D a couple of times but havent found my answer.

I passed the CPL/ME skills test last October following a modular training path. I was (am) about 10 hours short of the required 100 hours p1 time for licence application and intended to fly this off immediately after the test.

However, life being as it is and throwing things at you, something came up and I had to use all my 'flying' finances elsewhere. I haven't flown since the test.

I plan to fly the required hours in the next 2 or 3 months and get the application in. Even if I can't go any futher with my training right now, I don't want to 'waste' the CPL pass. The skills test is valid for 1 year for the purpose of licence application.

My question... do the CAA require you to hold a class 1 medical at the time of application or just at the time of the skills test? Mine lapsed back to a class 2 at the end of last year.

Many thanks,
