A V.C. holder from Canada took the Ministry for Defence to the Hihg Court yesterday as he wanted his war pension paid back to the start day of his injuries, the court allowed this.

I have also come across an article where it is up to the serviceman to proof that he is entitled to a war pension, so it looks like things are getting harder.

I haven't seen these reports anywhere, so if anyone can guide me in the right direction please do so, especially you Jim.

Re the VC holder, I appealed through the courts in London last year to have my pension backdated to when I came out of the RAF in 1969, this was turned down because it would have amounted to over £60000, seems that this chap has won the day. If I find anything on this I will post it here.

MOD Oracle sent this to me today via a report in GUARDIAN UNLIMITED it would appear that claiming relating to timing is being reduced and that the onus is on the ex serviceman to prove that he/she was injured as a result of service in HM Forces rather than being given the benefit of any doubt....BLOODY CHEEK!
