Sure they do.. it's their lives and careers in jeopardy if Class 5 becomes so popular that they're no longer required!

I’m now requesting a secondary review/appeal into my medical.

How long have you been a medical certificate holder and who issued those medical certificates over that period?

Quite a long time. Class 1? Probably 13 years?
Regarding your second question, it would be the AME I would’ve seen.

An "AME" in Australia? The location in your profile says "UK".

The reason I ask these questions is that none of what you're now experiencing should strike you with the force of novelty, if you've substantial aeronautical experience and medical certification in Australia.

Ah right, my apologies. I’m from the U.K. and born here and have lived here all my life.

That makes sense. Hopefully you will get your medical certificate back, soon. Evidently yours is an unusual experience in the UK. It’s OPS NML downunda, so there are a lot of us who can empathise with you.
