PMAS Testimonials

Since I joined PDFORRA MAS and from my initial consultation in October to my operation in February it took just over four months in Kingsbridge hospital.
Without the scheme I would still be on a waiting list for another year as my appointment to just see the consulted wasn’t till 2020 and God knows how long I would be waiting for the surgery, since my accident in work in 2017.
With my complex surgery done I’m on the road to recovery and although there will be another 6 months of physio and hard work I am hopeful for a full recovery. I was very grateful that I was able to avail of this scheme, especially as I was at risk of discharge from Defence Forces due to not been able to complete my annual medicals.

The PMAS scheme in my personal opinion is one of the best things a soldier can pay into.
The DF as a whole will not give you the service and medical assistance that is needed for the job we do on a day to day basis. I was injured badly on a DF exercise that was the fault of the kit and equipment I was issued and if it was not for the PMAS scheme I would still be suffering.
For anyone wondering about how effective the PMAS Scheme is,
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for joining PMAS.
For last 5 years I have suffered with my back.

PMAS is an excellent scheme to get Quality Treatment
Much quicker than the normal patient Pathway. For members of PDFORRA its only €1 a week,it’s amazing.
