No, you don't lose your ilr. Bear in mind that a valid BRP is proof of your right to live and work in the UK and board a flight and to re-enter the UK if you travel abroad and you are a visa national.
It costs around £56 to renew the card.

If they ask on the form you need to declare it. However, it has no effect as you already have ILR. A BRP replacement is NOT an immigration application

if i click on declare caution it comes up with a sub heading saying i dont ened to declare a simple caution or youth caution? so this means i dont need to?

I believe this question has to be rhetorical, because Zimba couldn't have been clear enough!

So you obviously thought wrong/../..when i got the the last page to pay its saying £71
You can't argue with the price that the system says you should pay.??? then it saus if your card has already expired its free for a new one?
Your card hasn't expired has it? which one is correct? thank you
So choose the option that best aligns with your situation!
