The medical was on the 8th of August, it went ok i think! We havent heard anything and we are still getting money through so im guessing no news is good news or could it still all go horribly wrong?0

Yes, that is good news so far; let's hope you hear formally soon!(AKA HRH_MUngo)

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 Eagleton0 -
it can vary how long it takes to receive any news after your medical. Mine only took a week but it can take much longer. Between sending in my IB50 and getting a medcial date it was almost 5 months!Weight Loss - 102lb0

cant see what the problem is in telling the truth
the doctor i had at a home visit sat there for 20 mins asked questions and when i went to appeal his answers greatly differed from the ones id given
seems to me they ask a question then just write down what they want anyway,i went from a high pass rate down to 3 points due to his answers ,i got 9 back at the appeal
that was just 4 month ago and guess what arrived on saturday ,yup another brown envelope containing the dreaded IB50
oh what joy:j
just thought id add if you pass it takes them for ever to let you know ,if you fail its on your doorstep like a bat out of hell0 -
The vast majority of EMP's are honest and try to give a fair report.
Some are not, and that's why we have the appeals service, which puts right anything that went wrong.

You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset.
