How would I get proof of my disabilties?
My Taekwondo Boss wants me to send medical proof of my disabilities to the British Taekwondo Council to support my entry to a Poomsae competition in Barnsley next month. How do I get these documents? They apparently have to be signed off by a registered Doctor/GP who sees me regularly. Can anyone help?
