Where abouts on the merit list are you? I'm in the top ten and havent got my medical invite but i'm out in the sticks and with the holidays post may be delayed a touch, by the way the CTC was acting up on me today wiped out all my info three times and when I tried to submit it, it messed up too, I think i'll be giving DVA a wee tinkle in the morning.

100-120, only got letter yesterday so I'd say you're right prob just a delay with the holidays! Great, I'll try to be careful which buttons I press!

Not sure if it was a problem with my internet or at that end but when i hit "save" it rerouted me to an error page and when I went back in it was all wiped. (p.s the "rerouted" bit wasn't a pun to mark what day of the year it is)

Sure isn't!

josh2705 · 13-07-2012 12:04pm

Guys, Just come across this forum. Completed CTC last week, what sort of days next week are people getting invites to the medical? Panicking as others seem to be getting short notice and haven't received my letter yet. Thanks, Josh.

hayes_1991 · 13-07-2012 12:08pm

wonder will we hear on the day if we pass medical? first time doing this kind of thing so dont really know what to expect.

Out of interest, whereabouts are you on the Merit List?

josh2705 · 13-07-2012 12:12pm

100 - 110

hayes_1991 · 13-07-2012 12:14pm

im in same merit range as yourself josh and havent heard anything about a medical yet, though probally with the holidays it might come tomorrow. Do you think everyone will go through a medical?

josh2705 · 13-07-2012 12:20pm

yeah i would say so. but will have to wait until tomorrow till post returns to normal.

weepete · 13-07-2012 12:55pm

CTC finally submitted, figured out what the problem was silly me i was using firefox instead of internet explorer, goes to show you really have to read the instructions they give ya

Very unlikely they would tell you you have passed / failed medical on the day.

As delancy said highly unlikely they will tell you - however in the recent PSNI one I underwent - whilst they did not tell you directly you got a fairly good indication - 67j

I've had nothing either-not sure if it's a bad sign!??

Hoping it's just a delay with the post for the public holidays.

Although I've got this totally irrational fear that my medical is on Monday and because I've got no way of knowing I'm going to miss it and be removed from the recruitment process.

Likewise buddy, if anyone who has recieved a medical invite would be so kind as to confirm that they dont have appointments on monday or if they feel good enough to send a wee private message that they DO have one on monday it would be a great help to all those still in the dark.

Please and thank you.

swl33t · 14-07-2012 6:18pm

i received nothing either!

arrow99 · 14-07-2012 7:18pm

Got my letter thismorning and have medical this week. Unfortunately I am going on a family holiday in 2 days time! Gutted. Will ring on monday morning to see if any way I can change medical appointment but it says we can't. Could have to cancel holiday or catch another flight out later in week!!!

Can I ask what day is the medical and whereabouts on the Merit list you were?
