Hi I'm sorry we can't advise on medical requirements here, every case is slightly different and it depends your medical history.

I would advise talking to your doctor and getting advice and then when you apply state your medical history and you will be assigned a medical professional to talk through your medical history. Only they can advise you, sorry that we can not.

Hi Laura,
A soldier needs to be able to deploy at a moments notice and be fully operational.
As mentioned above, we cannot answer medical or health related questions as they are tested and on an individual bases
Hope this helps
