Disgusting treatment.

A soldier who lost a leg in Afghanistan had his disability benefit taken away even though he`s only able to walk a few hundred metres with the help of a prosthetic limb.

The idiotic fool who made this stupid decision, should be sacked.

Sadly there are a lot of these idiotic fools around who will give benefits to those of questionable merit/society’s spongers (of whom, regrettably, there will always be some), yet find it beyond there means to give things such as disability benefit and disabled car passes to those who genuinely need them.

From the report I saw it is made worse by the fact that he is likely to lose the other leg within five years.

I saw the bloke in question on our local news (turns out he’s a Brid lad). It almost seems like he’s being punished for having the balls, determination and grit to make as amazing a recovery as he has done. Like that’s fair…

Poor sod!! willing to fight for Queen and Country, and this happens. The idiotic fool who made this stupid decision, should be sacked.Lost his job, and no doubt be unable to find a job anyway.

Mind you, if he was from Somalia, he would be given a £1.5 million house with all the trimmings, paid for by us.to live in.

I would use all the swear words I can think of to put my feelings into words, but it’s not worth getting banned for……………There again, **** it.:diablo:

Now that’s a kick in the teeth. Shame on whoever’s bright idea that was.

I saw this too. It is indeed disgusting.
I think now he has been on the news he may get his benefit back.
