MoD madness

clipped from www.dailymail.co.uk Bombed cadet has blindness payout halved - because he had already lost an eye to cancer Stephen Menary, 21, suffered horrific injuries in the blast outside a Territorial Army centre seven years ago. The bomb blew off his left hand and ear and ripped open his chest and stomach. It also destroyed his left eye – the right he had lost to cancer as a baby. Bureaucrats seized on this to rule that rather than get £110,000 for total blindness Mr Menary would receive £55,000, the payment for losing one eye.

If this kid had been a typist he could suffer from repetitive strain injury and get £440K. The fact that he doesn't have the limb to strain seems to be beyond the NuLaber government.
MP's can get enormous expenses which includes £10,000 for a new kitchen in their second homes. What this young man has received is a disgrace, but it's just what you expect from this shower of hogs.
