    Hello,

    The entry requirements to the military are constantly being reviewed and updated, so unfortunately I cannot give you an accurate answer at present. While the scars are not necessarily going to stop your application being successful, the mental health reasons surround the issue may be a barrier to entry depending on the duration, treatment required and other symptoms.

    Please start an application on the Army website, following this we will be able to review your medical records and give you a more informed answer. https://apply.army.mod.uk/how-to-join
