Default A question for any helicopter pilots here

Here's perhaps a strange question;

Do helicopters have lower IFR minimums than fixed-wing aircraft?

It seems like IFR would be a cinch in a chopper because if you got
confused or the flying got difficult one could just slow down, stop,
hover, think about it and then continue once the pilot was
"comfortable" again.

Not a strange question at all. Helicopters have HALF the phyxed wing
minimums for IFR.
