Will there be issues with Military Discharge?

[C and P 0]

My fiance is trying to get all his paperwork and vaccinations in order for his medical and interview. He served 1.5 years in the army and his unofficial discharge papers say "he struggled throughout" and "has found training far too intensive for his capabilities, both physically and mentally. He has en engaging personality and is capable of unsupervised work, if the work is tailored correctly for his capabilities".

He sent in the request for his official discharge papers, but we are wondering if he should ask his GP to set him up with a Psych consult to make sure he is cleared for any psych or mental issues. I read a few stories, not necessarily from the UK, but stories from people saying they made it all the way to their interview and then encountered issues due to previous documented issues that could be construed as "pysch" concerns.

What do ya'll think?

Thanks,

Christine

His unofficial discharge papers??? There are no such thing, this is the Military not Tesco

Either he has disharge papers or not

When he left he would have been given his papers annotated and signed by his senior officer

Just because he struggled with the military (many do!) doesn't mean he will be denied, unless he was discharged dishonourably

Unofficial as in not the official papers the embassy will accept. They have some information of his discharge information on them, but they aren't the specific papers the embassy wants. Apparently there is a specific form with a code on it or something which is what he had to order.

Anywho, I don't think it will be a concern as he was honorably discharged but it doesn't hurt to ask others since someone else might have run into this issue. As I said, someone on another forum mentioned in their medical records something as simple as a history of depression and the embassy made them go get a psych clearance before they approved them... Which put them back 2 extra months. Just trying to avoid any possible issues if anyone has knowledge of how the Embassy in the UK takes something like this.

They hardly look at them, I had my service cert with me at the embassy and copies of the 4 pages, they don't even look at it. Don't worry and I certainly would be going to the Drs and opening any can of worms there

I'm with Nobbie, don't think they even looked at mine
