"More than one oral steroid=PMU?"

Applied to join last year apparently being prescribed with more than one oral steroid means im permanently medically unfit. After appealing the decision and getting a total respiratory test at a private hospital with sufficient evidence saying my respiratory system is above average this didn't count as sufficient evidence. Could somebody please fill me in on what it is I would need to do If I can ever reapply?

    It depends on when your last application was and what was actually said if its been classed as a permanent not able to join due to your condition you will be able to speak to the national recruitment centre to try and appeal their decision and give the evidence for it. If the application was a few years ago the rules have changed since so you may be able to apply again.

    I had only applied last year my appeal was denied by the army medical team due to "insufficient evidence" is there another body i can go to?

    I'm not a 100% sure, if you know what evidence is required and you can get it by whatever means, you would need to and see if you can appeal again and produce that evidence and see if it can get overturned. best bet would be to talk to the National Recruitment Centre to ask what you can do refrence the appeals process.
