answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2022 answer text <p>All Armed Forces entrants are expected to be able to serve for the full period of their engagement. Consequently, the medical entry standards for the Armed Forces are stringent, with a number of medical conditions currently being considered a bar to Service that would not be an impediment in other careers.</p><p>However, each application to join the Armed Forces is considered on a case by case basis and, if rejected on medical grounds, a candidate can appeal the decision with additional medical information. There is also an executive waiver process where the employing Service may, exceptionally, recruit someone who is below the normal entry standards. This may include individuals with unique specialist skills that outweigh any functional limitations they might have. Again, this would be determined on a case by case basis.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 08/12/2022 14:50:24 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
