This happens very rarely to be made PMU for something that happened that long ago unless significant damage has been caused, so it may be something else on their medical. If however that is what you have been told by the medical team and still has been made PMU as a result then appeals can be made. If you have already made an appeal you can appeal that too, by using appeal 2B, this should only be as a last resort. For this you are required to get all FME relating to the medical rejection and make a case as to why they should be accepted. This should include all previous FME and additional FME. This needs to be in great detail as if the second appeal is rejected then that will be the final decision as stands. It is also advised that you look at the PMU result as this usually has caveats to it for example PMU until clear of medication 5 years + which would be too long to defer or would be based on the medication currently on. For advice on the second appeals process you are advised to contact the NRC on 0345 600 8080. This will help ensure that you understand the processes.

Thank you for your reply, I’ve called recruitment and they’ve said to email the medical team and ask for more information as to why he got a Pmu and what new evidence we can get and then appeal again as the other condition wasn’t in the first refusal letter so we had no chance of appealing correctly for all conditions, even though everything is over 10 years ago and with full hospital letters to say he has no on going problems and tested to say NO Asthma in 2013.
