Hi any ideas what back issues are not accepted through the medical for navy?

RNLI is the royal life boat institution.

conditions that could make someone unsuitable for Royal Navy, scroll down to page 6 musculoskeletal issues, including reoccurring back pain or sciatica.

Yes have read this already , only he has had no diagnosis from any doctor etc and is this classed as a spinal abnormality, but he can do the training side with no problems? Does this mean he will be accepted?

What sort of back issues does he have that aren’t covered in all the issues listed? musculoskeletal Covers bones, joints and muscles, so that’s every back issue really.
Back pain isn’t classed as a spinal abnormality but no, they won’t take him if he has seen any dr for back pain and it is on any medical record. They wouldn’t take the risk of a) him becoming injured b) him suing for being in pain.

@MyHardyRedCritic

Is what classed as a spinal abnormality?

Has he begun the application process?
