The latest on this is that this student has been told they must wait two
years, attend AA or other counselling, have liver function regularly
tested and regularly be tested for any use of drugs or alcohol. That
sounds unreasonable to me. I understand that they're going to appeal.


Based on the procedure outlined in the AIP (LRA 3.4.5), it does not look
promising :-(

Even if you "win" the appeal, that only gains you "reconsideration".
Basically, "winning" just seems to kick the case upstairs to the National
office, and having the Director make the decision, instead of the Regional
medical officer.
