Hi harry, Thank you for your question. I’m not medically qualified but from my knowledge you would have to be 2-4 years clear from your last pump prescription. On your online medical questionnaire on initial application it will go through pre screening questions with you. Tori C. May be able to answer your question further. Regards J

I applied in 2016 but was deferred until April 2020 due to a chest infection and use of inhalers. Since then I have had no other need for inhalers and have kept in good condition with physical fitness. Would it be possible to re apply a little earlier than recommended (approx 5-6 months before April)?
