Hi all, UK Apps just opened and I’ll be giving my statement of physician to my GP tomorrow.
I’ve had mild eczema since childhood, but have been completely eczema free for the 4 years I was at university. Since coming back to my parents, I had a massive flare and will be on immunosuppressants until January. It appears the home environment is what has caused my eczema, as we have a cat! I will be moving as soon as, likely in January but maybe before then. The eczema has magically gone when I’ve stayed at friends’ flats for a couple days or gone on holiday, so I should be fine once I move out and if/when I live in Japan.
I wanted to ask if this is something that is going to ruin my application? From browsing Reddit, it seems more like a ‘do YOU think you’re absolutely well enough to go on the programme and not break contract’ step of the app process, rather than a ‘if you have a health condition you can’t do this’ sort of thing.
I’m going to communicate this in a cover letter to my GP so they know exactly how my condition has unfolded, but I just wanted to ask the audience because surely there are JETS that exist and have eczema (whether dormant or active).
Thanks guys! 🙂
