Joint Service Policy and Medical Bars To Service

The request was successful.

Dear Ministry of Defence,

I would like to request information regarding how the decisions are made to which health conditions are a bar to military service, more specifically pertaining to depression, why they are chosen and by whom. As I feel some cases of depression are not a bar to service within the armed forces

Yours faithfully,

Jonathan Pratt
