Medical questionnaire - Have you been investigated or treated for any major illnesses? - Would this include Crohn's?

Hi everyone,

I'm filling out my medical questionnaire before I have my medical on Tuesday and I was wondering how to answer the following question:

Have you been investigated or treated for any major illnesses?

I suffer from Crohn's so I'm wondering if that question is a yes or a no. I'm not 100% if this solely means a serious disease which you can catch or whether it would include asthma, MS, or any other long term health conditions?

I have a letter which goes in to detail about my condition and the medication I'm on, so I'm fully prepared.

I'll probably take a back up copy with that section blank just in case but I would appreciate hearing from anyone who either has the answer, or who has the condition and has been through the medical.

Thanks,

Richard

Answer is yes. Will not effect the visa though. Just answer everything honestly; no penalty for oversharing.

Thanks Harpa. I've got a decent amount of letters/information that I am taking with so all my bases are covered and to hopefully mean the physician doesn't need to write to my doctor for more information.

So, I've ticked yes but have a spare copy just in case for the big day itself.

I doubt they will need any more information. Good luck!

The questionnaire does not become part of your file. It opens dialog with the doctor doing the exam. No need to take a spare copy. They will give you a slightly different questionnaire to fill out at the clinic as well before you see the doctor.

Agree yes to Crohn's, asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, skin cancer, heart murmur, etc ever in your life.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for getting back to me and apologies for the late responses.

It all went fine, I am glad I brought the doctor and hospital letter's and we did go through them as well as my current medications.

Got my interview date so I'm closer to being with my fiance!
