Medical Appeals process
Hi,
Like most on this thread I am in the middle of a long and drawn out pilot application for the ADF. This forum has been a great help throughout the initial stages and specialist testing, so thanks to all who have contributed.
However, I have since been sent a letter stating I have been assessed as medically unfit due to "hypertension" (high blood pressure). Although disheartening, I plan on appealing this decision and was chasing a little help from those of you who have experienced an appeal and more specifically medical rejection due to high BP. As you can all probably relate, assessment day and getting poked and prodded is not the most relaxing environment and hence one may experience raised BP readings. Subsequent readings from my GP are below the stated guidelines and will form the basis of any appeal.
I would appreciate any help from those who can shed light on this process. Again many thanks.
Cheers
Dan
