Good day. I gave a wrong answer on my medical questionaire and my application was rejected.

I have appealed and provided evidence and was told my application was on hold for at least a year but have not heard any updates. Becoming a paratrooper is an ambition of mine as I want to be able to protect and serve people and my country so I would appreciate any and all help please!

    Hi Matthew,

    Has it been a year since the application was put on hold?

    Warm Regards,

    Hi, it means the evidence you provided that was checked has a medical rule that prevents you progressing for 1 year. Once this period of time has passed you then reapply on the same email address so it is linked to your withdrawn/deferred application. Do not reapply any sooner than the year has passed. Then you will progress from that point forwards.

    Good day Robert and Graeme, and thank you for your responses.
    It has been well over a year since the application was put on hold and I have gone onto the recruitment website a few times on the same email to try to apply but the option is still unavailable.
