In the game of top trumps the wording in the ANO wins.

I believe that BEagle's interpretation was probably what was wanted, but unfortunately is not what the ANO states.

Having said that it pays to read all of the clauses not just one or two in isolation. You can have had these disqualifying conditions, but you must believe that they will not result in your being unable to manipulate the flight controls or to render you unfit to fulfil the functions which your licence entitles you.

So you could have accumulated all of these things and 'had them fixed or controlled' and then sign the declaration. Of course the CAA have then taken advantage of clause g) in the ANO by adding the medication for a psychiatric illness.

Plain English - obviously no, reasonable - probably yes.
