74% Informative
40-50% of non-passes at Army recruitment assessment centres follow medical referrals.
In 2022 , the Army increased their standards on eyesight, which led to around 400 candidates a year failing.
Back problems, bone problems, blood diseases, cardiovascular problems and eye and ear problems are all among the conditions that might bar entry.
