It does. At my medical I was given 0 points. You need 15 to pass. It seems the majority who are failed are failed with '0 points' too...seems quite strange to me. You would think that some would pick up a few points if these medicals were fair...especially given that the tribunal awards points also, so clearly they award at least 15 in 40% of the cases. 0 to 15 is quite a jump
