Good day all,
Just wanted to direct some questions towards you all but kind of goes into some legal black areas I'd assume.
So , I'm currently 2/3 of the way through my Comm which is being completed in south africa, which generally go by the same standards as the UK CAA , about 10 days ago I was diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis, upon reading the rules and regulations from the CAA a candidate would be assessed as unfit if presenting symptoms and then have to wait a minimum of 6 months before a reinstatement with an OML restriction which could be further reviewed after another 6 months in terms of a removal as I understand it

My questions here being
1.has anyone actually had any success in removing an OML for a chronic condition ?
Also, assuming I was doing my license in south africa but my medical treatment, diagnosis and life were abroad , is there any way for the south african CAA or my Ame to get my medical history without my knowledge from my foreign country ? If it wasn't declared on my class 1 renewal , I know they only pose a questionnaire to you about being diagnosed but it doesn't involve any tests
Would it make sense to continue my license and complete it along with my initial first job which I would need no restrictions for the most successful result without declaring it and later on if synptoms presented then go for tests again and get diagnosed in south africa ? Or is that just setting myself up for prosecution?
Thoughts if any ?
