Hi,

Medicals can now be carried out by what they call Health Care Profesionals, which can include nurses as well as Doctors.

There is a wealth of resourses in the members area of the site, both in how to obtain a copy of your medical report and also challenging the outcome if you are turned down for IB.

If you are turmed down, it is also worth obtaining face to face help from a Welfare Rights Adviser or CAB etc.

Pete
