I used to have migraines as a kid, 3 years free now and enlisting. This won't stop me will it?

I did have prescription for them when I was younger but haven't had so much as a headache since.

    Hello,

    I am afraid we are unable to answer individual medical enquiries on this platform.
    Most of our entry medicals are done by Capita, rather than military doctors, and as such I am not up to date with the latest guidelines on entry criteria.

    Last time I looked, if you had been migraine free for 2 years you stood a better chance of passing your medical, but as I said, the criteria may have changed, and all the details of your medical records will need to be taken into account before a decision is made.

    Best of luck with your application.
