Hi,

Have a quick medical related question...

I was permanently downgraded Oct 09 after Med Board at Henlow. Had been on the standard 6 month temp downgrades over an 18 month period, and even had the final extension period of a further 6 months before I finally went to Henlow.

Anyway, they permed me, and said that although the downgrade is technically 'permanent' there is always a small chance that I could still be upgraded in the future....

Is there any truth in this statement, and does anyone on this forum know of any such upgrade after perming instances ever occuring.

MrB
 
I think the official terminology is that the individual is unlikely to be upgraded within 18 months. This leaves scope for potential recovery and upgrading. I'm sure a medic will have the exact wording.
 
It's a permanent downgrade only because of the strict time limits imposed on temp downgrades. It's permanent until you are (hopefully) upgraded again.
