Hello!

My 10yr old daughter has Juvenile Arthritis so I've done a bit of research into it....I've spoken (via this and other formus), to a couple of people who have been granted visas and they've had Arthritis. As long as it's controlled there doesn't seem to be tooo much of a problem. You'll need to get reports from his Rheumatologist or the Consultant he/she is under through, and supply these as part of your medicals. The medication my daughter's on means 4 weekly blood tests, and again I've spoken to someone who needs the same, and they're now livin' it up in Oz!

Hope this helps & puts your mind at ease a little!

As long as a medical condition is under control and managed they have no reason to refuse you !! I have epilepsy and was diagnosed 5 years before we emigrated. I had Drs letters and saw a consultant for a report and medical! All was fine!

Dont worry!
