Gatecrasher or Wensleydale, are you who I think you are (DM)?
If not then my mate is in exactly the same position for that exact condition and I'll direct him to this thread. He's slipped 3 iot courses now I think, as med boards admin is so slow even though hes been on a fam visit.
I'm in a similar position but for a different eye snag, taken over 9 months so far and still not sorted, even though theyve given me joining instructions and a fam visit date! One hand aint talkin to the other down there!
