Being Deferred

For what reasons can I apply to have my service deferred?

You can ask to be deferred if you have:

▪A hospital appointment or operation that you have been waiting for, or if you are recovering from an operation

▪An important family event such as a wedding or a holiday already booked and paid for.

These may prevent you from serving at the time you are summoned, but won’t prevent you serving within the next year.
