Thanks for your replies,
The main difference here is that a severe allergy is a bar to service in
the Armed Forces because there is always the chance that a soldier will
be expected to serve somewhere without easy access to medical services
or records. A soldier who develops a severe allergy during service will
have to be appropriately graded to protect him/her and prevent him/her
from being expected to deploy to a high risk area. These gradings
necessarily impose restrictions and limitations on a career and are
extremely unpopular with the soldiers. I wondered if there was a way to
establish whether he had a true allergy in order to avoid such a
scenario.
Many thanks
Jo
