When is the first date you can do a LAPL medical?
In theory, it should be available from 17 Sep 2012.

The thing that's not clear to me is whether I need two seperate licences or not?
A question I have put to the CAA on more than one occasion. Things were much simpler before the leaden hand of €urocracy invented the LAPL and I await a response....

EDIT: I'm now advised that a LAPL(A) with aeroplane endorsement may be used to fly Microlights, provided that the pilot has received differences training. But flight time in Microlights will not count towards the requirements needed to maintain LAPL(A) validity. However, as far as I can ascertain, it probably won't be acceptable to use a LAPL(A) restricted to TMGs for Microlight flying.

What utter nonsense this whole MDM032 / LAPL bolleaux has proved to be - as I warned it would!
