Yes you do need to tell them. There's a form you can get off their website. I had an SAH which was coiled and I had to surrender my licence and was told not to drive for 3 months. When the time came for me to reapply it still took them 10 months to produce the licence. However, I was sent a form telling me I could drive whilst my application was being considered. It's a long and frustrating process but it has to be done. You're also supposed to inform your insurers but if they're anything like mine they won't be too bothered. Good luck with it all.

Just wondered how you got on, did you inform the DVLA? What did they advise?
