As floppy said initially, the docs are on your side. They certainly were with me. I was assessed with a 40% disablement which gives me a monthly pension. The examination was extremely thorough and highlighted things which I wouldnt have mentioned.. My main problem was back and neck but when the doc noticed a mark on my knee due to a dislocation many moons ago and a scar on my wrist due to minor surgery years earlier he added those as well as they occurred when I was in service. They were extremely helpful and I'm sure are well capable of spotting the leadswingers from those of us who were injured in the service of Her Maj. I also get an allowance for lowered standard of occupation (which again I didnt ask for but was pointed ot to me by the Doctor) as my injuries curtailed my flying career.
