The FAA refused the military request and only complied upon legal action. Once that avenue was open, however, the FAA discovered a recurring theme of former military personnel not declaring benefits, as required on the medical application.

The FAA has also done the same with other benefits, undeclared, outside of the military. It's been going on for a number of years, and has been big news in the aviation community. Why do you not know this?
