Hello,
I'm new to the forum. I am an avid airgunner and full member of my local rifle club since December 2019. The problem arose when I requested my medical records and saw a diagnosis of schizophrenia recorded, but never been diagnosed. So the GP records state, says diagnosis of schizophrenia though I cannot find any letters from the mental health team, to find when this was. I myself am a Clinician and know full well I don't have this disease which makes the situation doubly perplexing and confusing to all. I spent 1000 pounds to get a full Psychiatric assessment and of course it have me the all clear i.e no symptoms and no diagnosis.
But the diagnosis stays on my records, due to foul play and you cannot amend.When it comes to applying for my FAC the Police reject such applications but in my case it's only someone's lying word, which is what I knew all along.
As for me I'm perfectly healthy and fine and have a full time job, and it seems a violation of my Human Rights to possibly deny me a Firearms Licence, just because someone made up a diagnosis. How best to resolve this issue, I have no idea. Perhaps someone could provide some insight into this matter.
