If you are a prospective corps member (PCM) who has been deployed to a state that is not suitable for your health condition, you may be wondering how to apply for relocation on health ground.
Relocation on health ground is one of the three acceptable reasons for NYSC relocation, along with marriage and insecurity.
In this blog post, I will show you how to write a sample of NYSC relocation letter on health ground and what documents you need to submit for approval.
What is NYSC relocation on health ground?
NYSC relocation on health ground is the process of applying for a change of state of deployment based on your health condition.
This means that if you have a medical condition that requires special care or treatment, or that makes it difficult for you to cope with the climate or environment of your state of deployment, you can request for relocation to another state that is more suitable for your health.
How to apply for NYSC relocation on health ground?
To apply for NYSC relocation on health ground, you need to follow these steps:
- Get a genuine medical report from a certified medical practitioner (preferably from a government hospital) that states your health condition and why you need to relocate. The medical report should be dated and signed by the doctor and should have the hospital’s stamp and letterhead.
- Write a formal letter of request to the NYSC State Coordinator stating the reasons for the relocation based on your health condition. The letter should be accompanied by the medical report and any other relevant documents that support your request for relocation.
- Submit the letter and the documents to the appropriate office in the orientation camp or at the state secretariat after the camp. You can also apply online through your dashboard on the NYSC portal if you missed the opportunity to apply in camp.
- Wait for the approval of your request by the NYSC management. You will be notified via SMS or email if your request is approved or rejected. You can also check your status on the NYSC portal.
- If your request is approved, you will be given a new state of deployment and a new call-up letter. You will then proceed to report to your new state and complete the necessary registration and documentation.
