Any news yet ?

i have seen 2 people say it took them 5 weeks to get an offer. I have been waiting for nearly 6. To me, the fact that applications are closed is good because it means they are mostly focusing on responding to people and only have a few more people to test.

Mainly posting to get access to private messages but also wondering if anyone has got a successful class 3 medical with any past mental health issues on record?

I think these days it depends what it is , it’s in the records you have to send them I guess so be honest .

if it’s mild depression or something I imagine you’d be ok , if it’s raging psychosis with suicidal tendencies , I’d guess not .

I’ve had my medical appointment and I believe you can get it on the day if you don’t need any additional tests.
