    Hi Ellie,

    I cannot comment on Medical Issues as I am not medically trained. However, I can state that each case is reviewed on an individual basis.

    To get a definitive answer the best thing you can do is to just get an application submitted on the Army Jobs website. As part of the application you will be asked some eligibility questions which include completing a medical questionnaire. If there are any problems here you will be informed before being allowed to progress.

    If you are able to proceed one of the later stages will be us requesting your medical history from your GP. This will then be scrutinised by an Army Medical Professional and a decision will be made.

    Hope this helps,
