From experience I can tell you that they have a medical team and in my case required me to seek assistance from my Doctor to assess and treat my condition. This took an age to for the DVLA and my Doc to talk to each other but I was reassured by the DVLA that I was permitted to drive until they were in full facts of my health and ability to drive. I will add this was for a PSV licence. My condition was flagged at my private medical the DVLA then paid my doc to do another examination and treatment. My Doc was happy with me driving and stated this on the paperwork but it was the DVLA's final decision.
I also know individuals with downs syndrome who drive cars and they have to have regular medical examinations to show they are fit to drive. I also come across people who are of an age or illness that they need to report/surrender their licence as they are unfit to drive but that is down to not only their Doctor but them selves to recognise the potential dangers.
