Hi. Just been declared medically unfit due to diagnosis on records of OCD. However medical notes show that all the symptoms were actually emetophobia (I was scared of being physically sick) aged 10/11. I had 7 sessions CBT (no medication), realised what a prat I'd been and have never had any fear of it since. This can be seen by further visits for immunisations pre university, having been sick since (freshers!) And no further involvement of professionals. I want to be an engineer. Have straight A* AT A Level and am gutted that something that was a minor issue 8 years ago is going to affect my chosen career in the Navy. Is it worth appealing (or do they class anxiety based emetophobia as OCD . I have seen journals where they say it is not). Would I need further medical evidence or do I send in the notes for the Navy medical Dr to decide eith my appeal. Thanks in advance.
