I think part of the decision was based on how many prior medical certificate applications were submitted without checking the disability benefits block. I’m guessing here but as I understand his description of logic was a recent award where one maybe “forgot” or didn’t think to check the block could be explained/negotiated but several years of not checking it while continuing to receive compensation indicated willful behaviors in not disclosing potentially disqualifying conditions. We’ll see what the future brings. I think after this initial run, the FAA may become even more aggressive if folks aren’t being up front. I also agree with previous statements that the FAA is pursing the fraudulent applications versus necessarily actually exercising airman privileges with potentially disqualifying conditions.!
