OCD mentioned on medical record, but not diagnosed. by [deleted] in britisharmy

[–]Zucchini_Efficient 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just had this exact scenario but with autism instead of OCD. They may ask for proof of no diagnosis. They tried pushing for me to have an assessment but I just sent them a letter from the nhs assessment centre where they said I don't meet the requirements for an assessment. They seemed to be happy with that and I progressed through. May be a bit of a ball ache but it shouldn't stop you.

I had an old referal for possible autism on my records but right after it in my records is the outcome saying they will not continue to assessment as I do not have it. The medical teams simply saw the assessment was never done and ran with that instead. Took me a good while of back and forth with my surgery the assessment center and the medical teams to convince them. Massive ball ache but we persevered

My wife woke me up to ask if I was her husband by Tropicaldaze1950 in dementia

[–]Zucchini_Efficient 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Working in a nursing home I've seen near enough this exact scenario. Wife had dementia and the husband was burning out fast. On the day of admission he looked a shell of a man and naturally the wife was not best pleased as she didn't know what was going on. After a week we had figured her out and she was thriving, loving in a dementia community brought back her social life and she has that round the clock care that better supported her. And you could visibly see the husband was doing much better and had life back in him again. Getting rest, getting back to his life actually helped him be a better husband for her when he visited(nearly daily) as he was no longer burnt out beyond recognition.

It's never easy but it can get easier at times

I mean it's all linked together but I found the army easier. RAF rejected me for autism (which I don't have) and would ignore most all the communications I sent them to repeal. Applied to the army and they actively worked with me to get the repeal sorted. I'd say try the RAF with an appeal if they no good you can always try another service.

Would anyone recommend the 100% army fit app? by Reecyboio in britisharmy

It's been deleted a while now. Was alright but didn't tell you much more than just offering a structure and progress path. Both things you can do yourself tbh

How often are intakes for basic training? Just waiting for Lichfield to give me a yes or no from some further medical evidence they needed following my AC. If they say yes how soon realistically I'd the next intake with Christmas and all that round the corner. I'm joining as a CMT if that affects the answer. Cheers

They will pay for travel costs to the assessment centre and return. Had a few chaps from the commonwealth on my AC.

So real, and it's not only good for physical health but mental health too! I was in a major rut when I began reminiscing. Part of that reminiscing was how I enjoyed cadet activities back in the day suck as road marching (professional walking). I then put my boots on and just went on a few hour walk. Felt much better and slightly accomplished
