Parveen Brown, who is responsible for continuing healthcare funding at NHS Devon, said every family had the right of appeal and a further discussion had taken place with the family.
I.e : You can appeal all you like, we are still going to screw you over.
This sort of treatment of retired servicemen/women is pretty common throughout the world, not just WW2 servicepersonal.
There is no “money” to be made wasting time and effort on “old” people, nor political points to be scored helping one “old man”.
Its a sad fact.
Im not a great believer in war at all, but these people deserve all the help and support we can give them since it is ultimately our fault for allowing wars to develop…
One hopes that the so called public servents who keep “reviewing” peoples cases will one day be an old frail person who also gets screwed over in their old age!
Not quite the whole world, my friends father was a Lancaster crewmember and the only englishman in a Canadian crew [ the same crew in the book ‘Lancaster down’] She met some crew members years later and they all remarked how much better the Canadians looked after their ex servicmen.
In the UK its all about power, if you are an overpaid official in the council/government or an overpaid banker the worlds your oyster and you can screw over anybody you like, and their proud of it.
