TB history, Old Scars and Treatment

[RACKG]

Hi, if you have history of TB and had treatment and told IOM about your TB history, did they ask for evidence of your treatment? Also, did they request you for old x-rays?
I would also appreciate your timelines of first x-ray, sputum test result, second x-ray, third x-ray (if they asked you for a third x-ray) and PPR.


Regards,

No they don’t ask for proof of treatment or previous x-rays. Only thing that matters is current situation. No need for 3rd x-ray if there is no positive TB test and 2nd x-ray is the same or looks better than the first one.

Thanks for the clarification. I had full 6-month treatment for "suspected" TB 11 years ago. Someone told me that they will ask for evidence of treatment and old x-rays and I wasn't sure because if they really do, they would have asked me during my first medical assessment, on the day of first x-ray and collecting sputum samples.
