If you let it expire you did not meet the requirements to have the
medical, so by definition it is either revoked or suspended.

Bull****. It's just expired...you can't use it anymore. There's
a difference between expiration (which is without prejudice) and
having it terminated by an explicit action.

No, Ron. Suppose you get a letter from the FAA asking you for an update
of... say... your diabetic situation, from your doctor. What do you think
will happen if you ignore the letter and try to wait until the special
issuance expires, so that you can then fly LSA aircraft with a DL? (This is
no different than not sending in the required medical reports needed to
renew the special issuance medical; that request is made when you get the
medical in the first place.)

I'll give you one guess, and a hint: it's not an expiration and it will be
highly prejudiced. Make sure you check your sources, because I have the
answer right in front of me, in black and white, on FAA letterhead.
