Bare with me as I'm going to try to explain this clearly. I had my testing, medical, and interview all in the same day at my local recruiting centre. I had woke up at 3 am , drove for 3.5 hours to get there in time for the morning testing. Then a few hours later I moved on to the medical section of the day and if I remember correctly one of the questions was, "do you get frequent headaches" so i answered yes. I do get headaches once or twice a month which is frequent to me. I then had a break which included lunch and a 2 hour wait to begin the second section of the medical. I was then handed a form that was a headache questionnaire. This is where I really messed up. I misunderstood one of the questions and said that I require bed rest and a quiet room. So not what I meant but that was the fatal shot to my application. I was super tired and was not paying attention to what I was reading. They sent me home with paperwork for extra testing and follow up. I then was sent for eye testing which reveled nothing, and then a meeting with my family doctor which also reveled nothing, and I explained what had happened and he agreed that i must have misunderstood. So he sent the paper work back and within a few weeks I received a letter stating that I'm unfit to join because of my headache issues. WHAT!!!! So I sent a letter back explaining what I had done and that it was a mistake what I had answered. Two weeks later the same letter showed up saying they weren't going to medically release me.
Any advice of how to fix this now? Its such a stupid mistake that should be easily changed, but for some reason they don't seem to believe me, my doctor, or the opthamologist.
