The way the FAA operates,  If your file is pulled you will get a cease an desist notice. It will state that your medical is invalid until further investigation reveals otherwise.  Don't worry, that shouldn't take over 5 years.  The bad part of the FAA is they never do anything and are crisis motivated.  Then they do too much !!!  Hate to see anyone lose their ability to make a living but if you are physically and cognitively well enough to fly a helicopter and are  getting money for a medical disability perhaps your medical should be a little more intensive than the average guy.
