I was referred for Asthma in February which was last mentioned on my medical records 20+ years ago. Before I went I’d read that I may be asked to conduct an additional exercise test, I think it was a jog around the block, so I brought some clothes ready to change and go for a jog��

On the day they weren’t convinced my historic records were enough and I was told I had to get my GP to write a letter about my asthma. They didn’t really want to send me out around the block, and I didn’t see what my test results were on the day.

I was told the main issue was that my records don’t show if I had a repeat prescription for inhalers which I could have had since asthma was last mentioned. I was referrred and my GP had to write a letter on my case - I declined to read it, so I don’t know what he wrote.

I was charged £90 for referral and was told the CAA would send me my Class 1 once reviewed. A few days after the GP letter I got my Class 1 from the AeMC.
