Hi
Thank you for your question.
Medical history is a concern for a lot of applicants but we cannot give a guaranteed answer without reviewing your medical history.
Your GP will send all your medical history to our Medical Officer Team who will review this and then they will contact you back with an outcome. You may be asked to send further medical evidence / information - this means that your GP has not given enough information about treatments and prescriptions.
If you are looking at the Army Foundation College (AFC) in Harrogate then it's best to start your application sooner (although you must be over 15 years and 7 months old). Remember GP's can take a few weeks to send your information and our Medical Team also have weeks to review this - and then additional time to contact you back, this can take longer over holiday seasons.
I hope this helps.
