Unable to join University Air squadron because of childhood asthma

I had mild asthma from the age of 1 to 13 which I have since grown out of. I tried applying to the East Midlands University Air Squadron, But was told in my initial interview that I am ineligible to Join because I had asthma after the age of 3! Is this true with all other UAS? According to other UAS websites the medical requirement is that you meet the standard of the Group 2 (HGV) drivers' licence.
Can anybody offer any advice?
Thanks
