It's true. You can instruct PPL and LAPL (and be paid) on a PPL. To instruct for the PPL you must also have CPL theory.
A PPL only requires a Class 2 Medical.
This is vital for me, because I can no longer get a class 1 medical due to colour vision deficiency. I will be forced to fall back on the PPL privileges embedded in my CPL after my next medical. The only good thing about this is that it may save me a little money. The bad thing is that I cannot aspire to instruct at CPL, or do any other aerial work.
From CAP804:-
FCL.205.A PPL(A) Privileges and conditions
a) The privileges of the holder of a PPL(A) are to act without remuneration as PIC or co-pilot on aeroplanes or TMGs engaged in non-commercial operations.
(b) Notwithstanding the paragraph above, the holder of a PPL(A) with instructor or examiner privileges may receive remuneration for:
(1) the provision of flight instruction for the LAPL(A) or PPL(A);
(2) the conduct of skill tests and proficiency checks for these licences;
(3) the ratings and certificates attached to these licences
