    It was 3 months from sending form in till I had to go for medical.
  • They will send you a letter to say whether you have passed the threshold or whether you have to go for a medical. If you have heard nothing, there has not yet been a decision.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Wish there had been a decision - the waiting is doing my head in - once there has been a decision it feels like a weight has been lifted!

    I didn't get any letter, just got a call out the blue asking me to attend a medical.

    Hope you hear something soon Helen.

    Still no news! Want to know one way or the other - it would be such a relief to find out no medical! But things dont go that well for me..!

    Well still no news! Thought would have been phoned up by now to tell me a date for the medical - pretty sure I wont get away without one!
