Physically my condition would not react with any amount of g's or pressure. I received a call from a high up doctor today who told me I was class 4 due to the Condition, yet they can't tell me for what reasons due to it being Classified.. My Specialist does not have a aeronautical background but it is accepted that a mild case of my condition will not affect me in anyway compared to someone without the condition. Pretty much I was told that "off the record" clearance to be aircrew would be unlikely which is a unfortunate. I will appeal and state that I don't have symptoms, done flying time, can work on a Fire-front (RFS) without any symptoms etc. Thats what the doctor said, so if anyone else has this issue ensure that your appeal includes facts including how bad symptoms are, what medication is taken (over the counter rarely is acceptable) and how often it affects you especially during arduous or prolonged physical effort. If anyone else has tips it would be great and thanks for the replies so far.

Cheers
Ben
