I applied for the RAF sixth form scholarship last year, and sent off a breif medical overview. I had asthma when i was very young but not anymore, and because of this they said i couldn't join as Aircrew.

I've heard that some people have successfully challenged this, and I was wondering how those people went about doing this.

Any help would be great

This has been covered on several occasions before - if you do a keyword search on 'asthma' there are a number of threads you might want to peruse (use advanced search and don't forget to set the search period to 'Any date'):

For a start, though, try:
