worried that a back issue may stop visa

[Guest Taylor72]

Hi being the born worrier that i am my mind is working over time and would be grateful if any one has any thoughts on my problem :idea:

 

When i was looking through the form for the medical it has a statement " have you ever had government financial assistance for a medical condition "

My husband back in 2004 hurt is back at work then 12 months ago had to go onto the sick as due to the repetitive heavy lifting of a ton of profile every day , and his company has since gone into in solvency April 2010.

After an MRI scan and referral to an orthopaedic specialist he was found to have a slight protrusion of a disc and advised to find other employment which would not have such physical demands. He was also referred to a pain team for management, but found benefit in acupuncture and alternative remedies and so was discharged from that service. He does not take prescribed medication and due to having extended time away from the heavy lifting he has now returned to general fitness and now does occassional permitted work as a tai chi instructor.

My worry is that he maybe refused his visa due to claiming the benefit.

He is now able to work and plans to teach tai chi in Australia as he does here in uk.

He has now been discharged from all orthopaedic and pain services since June this year, but we have contacted his consultant for a letter to say he is able to work and that he will not require any surgury in the near future.

 

OMG !!!! im really stressing and would appreciate your help :hug::hug::hug:

Thankyou in advance

I would have the consultant's letters with you at your appointment. I cannot imagine that it would stop your visa but just may require further clarification.

Hi

I think you and hubby will be just fine. As the above poster said take your consultant letters with you but also be prepared for Immigration to ask your hubby to go for 'further investigation' . This is basically another quick medical with a Panel specialist rather than a panel Dr who will focus solely on hubbys back.

Good luck but as i say i'm sure you will be ok
