SMC – online status question

[Dawnb]

Hi I have checked my online status for my SMC medical and it just says ‘received’ and the date it was received. If its passed, should this change to ‘approved’ or just stay at ‘received’? Thanks

it just stays at "Received"

it just stays at "Received"

Thanks - Should I take it that it's been approved/passed then?

[jonydon18]

yes, you should take it that it's been approved/passed

Great, I was just concerned as I have epilepsy and lung scarring from a bad chest infection which was diagnosed as pleurisy. So I was expecting to be referring to MA.

One of my family members has been referred for MA, and our stayed at 'received'. I would not assume it means approved/passed!

Yes I am just literally WAITING for it.. I've got together a stack of supporting evidence of my good health - stable epilepsy and my lung scarring is not related to TB.

@Dawnb,
