I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Any mention of the A-word in your records will generate a no. Similarly the H-word (hay fever) will generate a refusal.

Ecema is also a no-no generally.

A worried mother taking her youngest to the doctor for a check could get the 'no evidence of Asthma' in the notes. Unfortunately this is then construed as <<no evidence of asthma is not evidence of no asthma>>.

Sad but true.
