Hello, I recently had a medical review whereby I was deemed 'medically unfit' by Capita. The reason being was down to 'eczema on hands'.
Seven months ago, I had an isolated incident of a small dry patch approximately the size of a 5 pence coin on my left hand, more specifically, in the area where your hand and wrist would meet. I was given some steroid cream by the doctor and it disappeared almost instantly.
I have no prior skin conditions of any sort and feel slightly startled at this decision, although, I understand the recruitment process is covering their backs. The medical guidelines feature words such as 'severe' and 'chronic' regarding the diagnosis of eczema and skin conditions. I would describe mine as neither, it was extremely mild and isolated on one hand with no prior history.
As present, I am unable to reach my AFCO in any capacity as they do not respond to messages or phone calls and have come here for advice.
Would anybody that reads this be kind enough to offer some perspective on the process of appealing this decision? Based on the fact it is neither 'severe' or 'chronic', would it be advantageous to appeal or is it end game?
