Hello, you're probably in the wrong place to ask this question: you're currently asking a platform of serving soldiers, not clinicians.

From a logical viewpoint it would likely depend on the proof source's qualifications and expertise vs. your doctor's professional assessment. A second opinion from a suitably qualified professional may be more beneficial.

It's worth noting that there are some instances where you cannot join the Army. You can find out more on the Army Jobs website: Army Medical Requirements & Examination

As mentioned you would usually need a recommendation from the doctor to say you are well enough, this would usually need to be done by a specialist as it would carry more weight. It will always be up to the Army medical team to make the final decision and they are the only ones who can overturn the medical appeal. The process for this would involve more than one person and usually consists of 3 or more doctors who will discuss your case individually. Please also check weather you have been rejected or deffered as this will also have a impact, some people may also get rejections with a time frame attached so please ensure you read any documentation sent to you from the NRC or careers office usually found on your portal. Usually the answer received from the appeals process is final unless proven otherwise if you are stuck with this process then please call your local careers office and they should be able to help.
