Medical - make sure the G.P has filled in the forms correctly!

[marie893]

I am so fed up and annoyed today.Call me stupid, but I thought when I had to pay £150 for a 20 minute consultation for my medical (plus xray cost, own G.P report, travel expenses) that I would be able to rest assured that it would be done properly! The "designated practitioners" are supposed to be experts at doing these medicals.........I had a letter back from the immigration dept. today, exactly one month after my medical, to say that the doctor had omitted to fill out a whole section of the form! On top of which would be responsible for any additional costs! Just a friendly warning to all of you applying for your medicals, make sure you ask at the medical if all the forms have been completed and signed correctly, with a written signed agreement that if the report gets sent back with errors that are the practitioners fault you will not have to pay for any additional appointments with the medic. I thought I would have the visa by christmas, looks like I'll be lucky to have it by February!! AAAAAAHHHHH!

I noticed that the Dr didn't fill out the Visa office required on my form. I wonder if I should put it in myself... but I guess that's not okay. I just know this is going to cause problems... I am not happy.

Hi marie893,

Sorry to hear what has happened on your medical file. Your posted incident will make caution for others who are going for medical.
If some thing happens like your case no one should pay additional fee and courier charge which should be met by the DMP only. But I am sure that it could be embarrassing to remind the DMP that he should fill up the forms accurately.

To wilson:

Then what should we do, if appropriate, when we finish the medical exams? Should we kindly ask them to check the forms again before sending to the VOs?
