[quote=Albert Driver;2849705]Whoa there,T2 ! That's not quite what I said!

'Asthma needs to be diagnosed by a specialist. If it hasn't been diagnosed you don't yet have it. You need to know if your GP has written "query? asthma" in your Notes. '

That's not strictly true. In fact it's the other way round. If yr records say 'asthma' then RAF sees 'asthma'. I've known several people turned down without even an interview, and people who are limited to ground trades too. If you develop asthma in service you usually get treated differently- ie medication but not necessarily a medical downgrade. But you can bet that if you are downgraded it always takes a specialist to upgrade!
