Seeking help was definitely the right thing to do. As nothing was acted on this will improve you chances of a successful application. If it was recorded then the medical team will look at all of you medical records in detail and make the final decision. If it was just the colleges helpline and there is no record of it on your medical records then this may not be an issue. As mentioned all medical details will be looked at by our medical team who will make the final decision and advise you what is required as further information if needed.
