Hi Paul all may not be lost what they mean is that they have to run your application through occupational health. Occupational health will make a decision so I suggest that you give it a couple of days and then ring and ask if occupational health have made a decision.
Good luck and if you are turned down it is their loss and it might be worth having a word with British Legion.

Tongue in cheek, sorry, didn't expect that response. Should that read foot in mouth?

Keep your head up. If they dont want you there are plenty more that will, you have loads of transferable skills for the Army, so dont just look for production/factory work.

It seems that they don't like to help decent people in difficulty, but they don't mind doling money out to people who have claimed for years and are a drain on our society. If you are someone who has worked and paid taxes for years you get nothing bit if you sit back and don't or have never worked you get money left right and centre.

Good point Sue,The ones who have claimed for years have no intention of trying to find work,And never will.

It is now called The Soldier's Charity (it was the Army Benevolent Fund). There's a support line - 0207 811 3207, or you can apply for help online. It goes through SSAFA and RBL, then Corps, then to ABF but they are fabulous! Mate has been helped back on his feet (well, stumps, but you know what I mean) by them & now helps others with ABF. Might be worth a shot contacting SSAFA & Combat Stress too. If you want help with any of the forms etc, just ask  Just had a thought, you may have been in the Andrew, a Bootneck or a Crab - apologies for assuming you are a Pongo
