My application got rejected on medical grounds for being prescribed antidepressants in the last 24 months

Is it worth appealling? Is there a time frame you have to be off them? As i have no plans to come off them,ive been on them 3/4 years

    As you said, because you have been prescribed them within the last 24 months. Meaning that you are not allowed prescriptions for anti depressants or take anti depressants for that time. This would then not still guarantee entry into the Army as there are also other medical grounds that they look into.

    If you are not planning on coming of the medication then don't unless you talk to your GP first as your health should be more important. However should you come of them and have been of them for 24 months or longer then apply through the normal route.
