Raf Medical Procedures!!!

This is a medical post but as the title states also an RAF procedure post.

In reference to a previous post I have entered on this forum.

I have just been told I'm unfit for service in the RAF due to an eyesight problem. The doctor who took my medical was in doubt even though I had a full RAF report filled out by an optician confirming I meet the criteria! I'm unaware of the process on what happens to a candidate that has some issues. Apparently the doctor has spoken to the RAF to get there opinion on the situation. I have been told I'm able to appeal, please can I have some guidance to this sort of situation. If anyone has undergone this process can you please help in any way possible.

Thank you for your time.

Eyesight Problem

You are entitled to a specialist opinion.
Ask your Flight Surgeon for a referral to Wing Commnader Scott who works in Birmingham.
Also you will need to attend the RAF Medical Board at Henlow.
It is not necessarily a lost cause.
