This new system is and will be flawed because it still relies on the injured person making a claim.
All too often there are former servicemen with no idea what they are entitled to, meaning they have to wait a lifetime before they fall into the grasp of the RBL or Ssafa. Even then it is a post code lottery as to the effectiveness of the service offered.
Ssafa in Blackpool has effective ceased to exist since the sentencing of the Divisional Secretary for fraud and the dismissal of a key worker for his/her..."unwillingness to divulge personal and sensitive information about clients" through a porous Lancashire Office.
I have it on good authority that some former key workers in the Division are so incensed that they are taking the issue to the Courts.
A simple question. Would you be happy giving your intimate details to an office run by a convicted fraudster, one imposed on rank and file caseworkers by Lancashire Office of Ssafa?
When these honorable people asked for an independent inquiry into the efficacy of Ssafa Fulwood, all that was offered was an internal revue without the designated Chair unwilling or unable to provide their remit, scope, legal obligations or the powers of that body, and that under the stewardship of the Chair of Lancashire Ssafa, and it is part of the general complaint that the Chair is culpable for the failings of this Charity.
It will be interesting to see what the Charity Commission makes of it all.
