Hi all,
Quick question, how close is the NHS app medical records to the ones the GP provides? Mine says 0 medication provided and only like a few GP visits. So this looks good for me just wanted to know!
Thanks
Thought it was nothing to go off but getting hold of my gp records will be a pain so seemed the easiest way.. No problem! ThanksNo heed is paid to any such apps.
What is visible in apps is very limited. Past medication is in your records, current medication on app.Hi all,

Well I have not taken any medication in what must be 5-10 years + Can't be anything in the past to bar entry but we will see. You can go the GP to access their portal that gives you all the info you need so hopefully that tells me everything. Will try that! Bad reviews on my GP though, this could be a right mess...What is visible in apps is very limited. Past medication is in your records, current medication on app.
Shouldn’t be a problem it sounds. Perhaps you’re worrying about nothing.Well I have not taken any medication in what must be 5-10 years + Can't be anything in the past to bar entry but we will see.

That tends to be the case, just hear about TMU's lasting months on end and dread to think something silly shows up for me. Fit enough to go AC straight away and I hate waiting! Realistically it's just more time to get fit so gotta be positive! Thanks for your help.Shouldn’t be a problem it sounds. Perhaps you’re worrying about nothing.

i find the process very boggling ! If you are unfit due to a condition you have I accept that but capita seem to interpret the rules to suit !
I have been deferred even though I fit the criteria ! So I’m having to present evidence I don’t medically have due to their lack of understanding when it comes to comprehension. The only evidence I can present is a supporting letter from my gp ! Explaining I have been treatment free for 15 years ..... I’m only 26 !
fingers crossed for me ! If anybody has any constructive input I’d appreciate it![]()

I found the below. I don’t have any back pain and can do any exercises without problem. I posted my appeal today so fingers crossed I win.Kyphosis is a description of an increase in the normal curvature of the spine, usually in the thoracic spine (between your shoulders) causing a round shouldered appearance. This is not the same as scoliosis which is a rotational deformity (twisting the spine so it appears crooked from the front or back)
If they are rejecting you for kyphosis and back pain it means they have some form of evidence (probably your gp or medical records) which say you have or presented with back pain and it as noted that you have an increased curvature of the spine.
For an appeal it does not matter what you think or how far you can run or whether your PTI/ trainer / teacher says you are really fit. What matters is the medical evidence. If your records say you have the condition you have to prove it is an error or that Crapita have made an error (not unlikely to be fair) and that you did not have the condition. Start by getting a copy of your medical records (GDPR subject access request) and find out what is actually in them then you can work out how to appeal - if at all
Why do you come on this site and ask for advice and then ignore it?I found the below. I don’t have any back pain and can do any exercises without problem. I posted my appeal today so fingers crossed I win.
3.12.26. Structural abnormality of the spine.12 Candidates with minor
scoliosis, kyphosis or lordosis with no associated back pain with full
and free
movement of all spinal segments (cervical, thoracic and lumbar) may be
graded L2.
I'm currently at uni but not enjoying it too much and have always wanted to join the military, I don't quite understand the eyesight requirements with me not being able to see an optician either at the moment, I was just wondering if having glasses or having astigmatism would hinder me from joining the infantry? I did get an occupational health eye test recently and was told that I do have 20/20 vision when corrected, but don't know if the astigmatism will hold me back?
Ive never had a prescription actually given to me at least not that I can remember, its been over a year ( closer to 2 since I've had it done) Is really the only way to tell with a prescription?Surely you have an old prescription around, they always give you a copy.
Otherwise it would be impossible for anyone to say.
I wrote a letter, got a letter form my GP about the back pain and also sent photos of my back to show the curve is minor.Why do you come on this site and ask for advice and then ignore it?
Out of interest what did you put in your appeal other than "I don't have back pain"
You will have been rejected for something in your medical records or something seen at a medical examination so if you have not addressed that you have probably wasted your appeal
