You're only obliged to inform the dvla about any medical conditions/medication,as far as I'm aware insurance wise you don't have to.
With regards to licence,what the others has said is true about it being illegal to drive whilst unfit.you have to inform,or should inform the dvla as if you don't your insurance isn't valid and nor is your licence.
If the dvla decide you unfit they revoke your licence for a specified period,then before that's up send you paperwork to re apply,they write to everyone involved in your care then their drs decide whether to reinstate your licence or not,if they do give it you back they usually put a time frame on it,ranging from 1 year+.
Example,my licence was originally given for 3years,then I re sent medical forms and got it for another 3,then it was revoked for a year,reinstated for 1 then upped to 3,shortly due for renewal.
Bonus is you get an up to date licence....
Insurance wise most sites ask about medical restrictions now and I haven't noticed a difference in premiums...just incase anyone was wondering you can also still hire a car!x
