An applicant who did upfront medicals received a medical request 20 days after applying and panicked.
- Just do the medical again. The clear experience-based answer: a fresh exam gets updated in your account within about a day, because the request creates an open slot your new results drop straight into.
- Don't burn time on webforms arguing that you already did it - members said webform replies 'take ages' while a re-exam resolves it immediately.
- It doesn't doom the application: one member who redid the medical had it updated the next day and received their passport request 9 days later (medical updated 6 March, PPR 15 March).
- Ignore unsolicited consultancy phone numbers posted in threads like this - verify any consultant against the ICCRC/CICC register before sharing your file.
