Alright lads, as some of you no I was in an crash in January where I was ran over basically, my injuries are worse than expected and i require an operation on my shoulder also been daignosed with PTSD now my problem is that this could ruin my RAF career not only that but before I joined my job was a plasterer so it will also ruin all my qualifications as I will no longer be able to go back to a physical job..


Exactly how do I fight this and put this across to my solicetors

personally id put it exactly as it is there. Its going to ruin you're future career, and you are going to have to take more time off work to get this operation done as well etc.

You're final payout is going to be massive....

Thanks, iv tried to tell them over the phone but they just keep saying I need to have my medical appointment report first, but how will he have Any clue of the amount of damage that's been done in a 10min appointment?! It baffles me

Make sure you're doctor has every single note etc from hospital and that. Id ask for copy's personally! Make sure you hold copy's, and if you're solicitor doesnt do nothing take it to another solicitor.

I carnt fault the solicitors they have been really good, it's just the medical appointment is only 10mins it takes me 30-40mins to fully explain my injuries to my doctors at work each time they won't an update..! Ill be getting copies of all my notes from base but getting then from the hospital is causing jobby loads of problems iv had to write into then and could take 6weeks for them even though my appointment is on the 26th April

Hmm, from my accident last year (was no where near as bad as yours) im only JUST getting my mdeical review. Ring the company in which you are having the review at and explain to them its going to take longer then 10 minutes. Make them make the appointment slot longer.

A medical examination will test reflexes, movement, restriction and some physio.
I had one. Its not a 10mins thing. If you explain everything you should be ok.

Call your doctor and explain it and he will refer you on.

this i had one and beleive me it aint no 10 minute thing the doctor assessing you is on your side buddy it will take as long as it takes.
Who diagnosed you with ptsd? thats a big diagnosis, anyone who has been in something like you were in will have broken sleep and anxiety afterwards but i wouldnt want to be labeled with that.
A medical discharge is one thing a section 8 is another.

I've had to go for a mental review through my solicetors who have labeled me with it, apparently it's only mild BUT PTSD is PTSD I'm sure you carnt put it on a scale..

What's section 8 ill take it if I get that ill not be looking at a pension and payout of my contract ?

section 8 is a medical discharge under mental grounds
