FYI, PES is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PULHHEEMS.
1) Go to Public Hospital / Private Specialist.
Note: You will be classified as a subsidised patient if your first visit is via:
2) Consult specialist, and
do whatever medical check ups required. E.g. physical
exam, blood test, x-ray, CT scan, MRI scan.
3) Specialist gave a finalised clinical diagnosis.
4) Get the specialist to write you a
memo which is to be given to
SAF MO. Those who can and are willing to spend some
more money can get him/her to write you a specialist report,
which is more precise and detailed.
Note: For not to
waste time and money, please be more direct yet humble. Request the
specialist to write about reviewing of PES and medical
board / anything specific such as any
excuses to your conditions.
5) Book an
medical review appointment using the eHealth module @ www.ns.sg (for NSman
Reservists).
Just go down to your camp medical centre
(for NSFs).
Call CMPB @ 6373 1340 to request another
PES review (for Pre-Enlistees after CMPB
Checkup).
6) Make a trip down to the respective unit camp medical centre. Give the MO whatever supporting documents you have in hand. E.g. Specialist memo/report (most usually the case and highly recommended), x-ray films, CT/MRI scan report, blood investigation lab report... etc.
7) MO will decide whether you are deemed eligible for KIV downgrade, according to the criterias set in the "PES Bible" directive. E.g. Diagnosis, Extent of Diagnosis, Degree of Diagnosis/Injury/Illness/Disease...etc.
8) If deemed so, you will sign an acknowledgement notice of Medical Board, whereby your case statement is prepared for review discussion at the monthly medical board meet (usually at the Formation/Division HQ) with another NSF CPT MO and the Chairman (SAF Regular Medical Doctor of MAJOR rank or above). Your Medical Board result will be post mailed to you by your respective NSHRC (Formation NS Hub).
Time and time again, the questions for Medical Review (Downgrade) is repetitive. Therefore, this serves as a general SOP for Medical Board.
Extract from www.mindef.gov.sg/nsmen:
NSmen must update their NS HRCs if they should
develop any new medical condition or if their existing medical
condition has worsened which might affect their ability to perform
their duties during ICT. Arrangements will then be made for them to
attend a medical review at the SAF medical centre to assess their
fitness for NS.
The NSmen MUST bring along all investigation results and
memorandums from his external physician/specialist during the
medical review. Depending on the outcome of the medical review, the
NSman may be given a medical certificate to defer him from ICT, be
scheduled for a medical board to downgrade him if his medical
condition is significant, or referred to a restructured hospital
for further investigation. In the event that the medical officer
determines that the NSman’s medical condition will not affect his
ability to participate in the ICT, he will allow the NSman to
attend the ICT.
Hi eac,
Hoping you would be able to provide me with some advice on what to do.
some background story.
I'm diagnosed with this medical condition called spinal stenosis. I have shown my MO previously a memo by my specialist (GOVT hospital MO) . After seeing the memo he mentioned he wants to down PES after he looked at my MRI scan. He also gave me 84 days excuse heavy load and RMJ to cover me for the period and told me to bring the MRI scan to him when my status is ending.
fast forward to last week, I brought my scan and showed. As he was busy, all he did was to ask his clerk to photocopy my MRI report and told me to go back.
Effectively when my status ends this month I will be liable for road march or running which I'm having difficulties with. I have tried going back to the medical center to be sent back at the registration counter asking me to book an appointment at NS portal. The earliest I
checked was in June which means I won't be covered till then.
Any advice would be deeply appreciated.
thanks

Please request in black and white to liaise with your NS unit's S1 Manpower Branch.
Attention your request letter to S1 Manpower Officer, Deputy S1
Officer and Chief Clerk.
Notes:
Revocation/ Post Out matters are none of medical centre business. Medical centre can only recommends a revocation/ post out. Please note that all actual manpower matters are all handled by the NS unit's S1 Manpower Branch. Therefore, please go to check with S1 Manpower Officer/ DyS1 Officer/ Chief Clerk.
As mentioned above, for all revocation/ post out matters, please check directly with the S1 Manpower Branch for all manpower issues.
Hi guys, recently went to a specialist, he said I have tight Achilles' tendons and symptoms of anterior compartment syndrome. He said it might be shin splints, but I have done research and it seems like I have compartment syndrome instead. I passed the referral letter to my MO (still in BMT), but he rejected the down PES request. Should I do a follow up checkup soon, or wait for posting and see the camp MO to try again?
Get a new strongly-worded specialist memo from the specialist on the next follow-up medical appointment.

Hi, having a sensitive hearing problem here but specialist can't rule out any problem - audiogram marks perfect hearing - but it is really affecting me in parts of my daily life. As i went to the specialist prior the NS screening, my specialist records are not reflected in the eHealth.
As a pre-enlistee going in on Aug, how can I proceed to get any form of down PES request and/or acknowledgement of my hearing problem?
As simple as ABC.
