Army Medical Appeal
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has been in a similiar situation and can give me a bit of guidance.
My army application has been put on hold due to a 'Caridology appointment'- this is related to me seeing the GP about palpitations 15 years ago, they went away on their own that same day and I haven't been back about that issue since.
They would also like more information about being diagnosed with scheuermann's disease which is a back condition I was diagnosed with 10 years ago, I never saw a specialist about this, just the hospital and I am now completley fine.
The senior nurse at my GP practice has typed a letter explaning all of this and how I am completley fit and well now. I was just wondering if this is sufficient enough for an appeal to be succcessful?
Do I need to do anything else? I was thinking I could try and see a back or cardiology specialist but I'm not sure how I'd go about that/how long that would take or if it would even help?
Also if anyone has any tips on the best way to write the letter of appeal that would be so appreciated, I'm feeling a bit lost with all of this at the moment and just really want to do everything I can to get in.
Thank you

I doubt a letter from a nurse at your GPs office will be sufficient for the back condition or the palpitations. The Army will want something from the Consultant you saw or the current consultant would be my guess.
The issue is that it is the Armed Forces medical staff that decide whether you are fit for military service, no civilian health practitioner can do that. Therefore you have to present the Armed Forces staff with the specific medical details of the condition, and the facts surrounding that. They make the judgment on the available medical evidence, if there is no medical evidence, then the answer is invariably no.
So you need to present them with everything you can about the circumstances surrounding the palpitations and the Scheuermann's, the medical assessment and diagnosis notes, the remedial actions, subsequent consultations, medication, physio etc so they can make the fitness assessment.

No-one on here can advise you on what information or tests you need to support an appeal as there are no military medical professionals and the rest of us don't know the contents of your medical records or rejection letter.
