Medicals
I had a fairly lengthy discussion about this with the CAA when the issue of NPPL medicals with JAR-FCL licences was being reviewed prior to the issue of the above AIC, and pointed out that the FEH and the ANO contradict each other.
ANO Article 72 says that for any licence other than the NPPL, "the holder of the licence is not entitled to perform
any of the functions to which the licence relates unless the licence includes a valid medical certificate". This means that a UK PPL(A) or JAR-FCL PPL(A) is invalidated if there is no Class 1 or Class 2 medical certificate. So the SEP rating and/or a JAR-FCL licence cannot be renewed or revalidated without a Class 1 or Class 2 medical certificate.
This was inserted into the 'new' ANO which has been in force since January 2010.

SEP Privileges under Section C
The holder of a UK JAR-FCL licence with SEP rating
may also, subject to completion of differences training
with an appropriately qualified flying instructor, exercise
the privileges of their licence on microlight aeroplanes
and SLMG’s in UK airspace only, without the necessity
of obtaining a NPPL (the normal licence for such
aeroplanes).
