Hi Guys and Girls,
Apologies if this has been queried/answered before, I had a quick look through the stickied thread and a search but didn't find the answer I was looking for.
Basically, I was wondering how long it normally takes for an appeal to be responded to by the AOSB Medical Centre?
In November I received a letter saying I was unsuitable for service due to a knee operation which cited a procedure I don't think I have had. My surgeon's view was the same as mine after I queried him, which formed the basis of the appeal.
I sent my appeal off in the second week of December after gathering the relevant testimonies from GPs, physios, surgeon etc and am still waiting on a response.
I realise Christmas and New Year is a busy time of the year for everyone so I wasn't expecting any immediate response but would like a general idea, if possible, of when one may come.
Also, I realise the whole appeal process is on 'the off chance' of the AOSB Medical Centre reconsidering my case and that they likely have many similar candidates without the knee operation, but I don't want to look back and 'wish' I'd appealed. If I receive another letter stating that they still consider me unsuitable then, fine, I will reassess my career aims.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
