Hi, a NSMen here,

I'm someone got my down pes memo (recommended. perm down pes) from my first visit to a specialist very early this year before my eventual ORD late this year.

As the final oversea excercise is just 2-3 mths away, I decided to not show my down pes memo to MO as my platoon mates and commanders have persuaded me to only show it after the oversea excercise. I felt it was reasonable to bare the pain for a final outfield.

After the oversea excercise ended, and we are very near to ORD, i approach the MO and show my memo, despite the fact that a few mths have passed from the date printed on the letter, the MO doesn't seem to mind that and gave me a form to fill up and told me he will recommend me to be down to C2L3.

About 2-3 weeks after that I ORD.

However it's now December and I have yet to know any news on is the down pes successful or not. I went to NS portal and see nothing, my pes status is still the old PES B L1.

Do anyone know how long medical board handle cases and do they inform orded personnel on their outcome result? Or is my memo too old to be used since I handed it in quite late?

normally it's take abt 1 month waiting time to get to a medical board. If you are downgraded, your clerk should know abt it. If u already ORDed, then maybe you can call your reservist clerk.

O dear..it's more than 3 months...But even if fail do they notify you?

It would be costly to go for gov hospital for another memo from specialist again. :(

Then maybe u should check with your unit clerk 1st.

All right. Will try, hope for the best.

i think you didnt complete all the pes downgrading before you ord.
I call tell you that your PES status is still B.

Cos if your PES is C2L3.. the IPPT section in ns.sg will put that you are ineligible for IPPT.

Either they lost the document to downgrade you or the medical board rejects your application.

Best to call your reservist unit. I think they will have to arrange you for another medical checkup at MMI before they do the downgrading.

I kena before.... takes about 3-6 months before they complete the process... from arranging you to a new medical review at MMI... to certifying your doctor's memo.. to approval by medical board.

my advice is for u to set up another medical review with MO at ur unit medical center..call ur NS unit to make the appt if u can't do it online..need to do fast cause medical review dates are usually fully booked..i did it last year,now PES F..do the review before ur next ICT

1st wat is ur prob tt lead to C2L3? i tink most likely the medical
MO put u remain as original pes.
But if i nr wrong specialist letter only valid 3mths? Den u had to get a new one again.
Best to email nspc thro [email protected]..

In the first place, you should have done the medical review before you go overseas training. Why? SAF will not pay u a single cent if anything goes wrong during the training. As it is your fault for not reporting to them about your medical status.

It will take very long, 3 months to 6 months for them to process something. Since u have already ORD, so they will put u behind the list, until all the active NSFs have been boarded, then it is your turn. So wait long long.

tarutaru SG

Just reminded me, TS, when u are going to ORD, I'm sure you'll did your ORDed FFI, you should ask then when you'll be medically boarded.

Whimsy SG

in the first place, your commander would not be so unreasonable to persuade you. Your commander and platoon mates were not the one giving birth and upbringing you. Your injury may aggravate before and during oveasea training. It is good that you share with us your experiences here. May you have a speedy recovery.

Must call up your unit Chief Clerk and arrange for an FFI medical review to see your unit MO. The memo u gave the prev MO should be inside the med docket with your name....they will do the rest....unless the memo was lost???!!!

If the memo was lost, go to your specialist and get another memo then arrange for another FFI medical review.

Demon Bane SG

Wow! PES F ? What's your medical situation?

Demon Bane SG

I only know people with terminal illness eg. incurable cancer, will get PES F.....

tarutaru SG

Actually if they lose your medical memo, the MO can request for it from the hospital doctor.

Yup its possible. But to be safe go get it again (if lost).

I think he meant pending status... but should be PES D?

Desmondho12345 SG

Med board no such thing as peS D. U r on ur old pes till u downgrade or upgrade..

There is one "Pending Medical Board PES" status. I forgot the alphabet given but I think its D. I get it before.
