Hello all,
Some of you may remember @Chelonian @Ninja_Stoker in particular, a while back I sought advice from you all regarding my application process.
Well its been a hell of a journey.
I was initially TMU for an OCD 'misdiagnosis' and I thought my journey had come to an end. Nevertheless I fought the decision, went through the JSP and took notes on the specific wording and details pertaining to OCD. I spent several hundred pounds to see a private psychiatrist to attempt to have the original diagnosis looked into and hopefully overturned.
After many months of back and forth, compiling reports and paperwork from many different doctors. I won the appeal.
I passed my PJFT + early (due to COVID shaking things up) with a 'strong pass'. All was going well until face to face medical - a previous shoulder issue then came up and was investigated further - as a result another fail and TMU.
I appealed again (apparently permitted for an unrelated separate issue to the first TMU) and my appeal went all the way to the top Navy docs.
Now after almost 2 years of back and forth I have finally been passed.
The lesson in here lads is never give up.
Godspeed
