Re: failed medical
That's the longest sentence I've read and it's really hard to read... 
... can you break it down with either punctuation or gaps?

sorry in short
sons girlfriend attacked him slashed his arm from wrist up
failed medical through it at selection
have all medical evidence and other letters supporting him
Hope this helps...that line was still quite a mouthful in one go so I've broken it up a bit.
I'm not being funny, this may just make people more likely to read it and you might get some good answers from people on here.
So it looks like he's committed self-harm and they've failed him on that basis?

Re: failed medical
Just read your post, as said earlier a wee bit difficult.
That said, if you have written evidence from the attending Dr and from his G/F stating she attacked him with a razor then you should have a chance to take it further, suggest you get back onto the AFCO. Trouble is that it could get into a "he said, she said" scenario with one Dr for and one against, your son should have taken it further at the time.
Good luck..
