Smoke and Mirrors
The Administrative Discharge Figures are incomplete. We have made contact with JPA and are awaiting their reply. We have requested the figures for the 25 months that are missing. Our belief is: that this method of discharge is being used to reduce the real figures of those with mental illness, PTSD due to service. We understand that the MoD has now renamed PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) on some cases, with PTSR (Post Traumatic Stress Response) as this saves them money when awarding a war pension.

The SPVA do not get involved until the serving person is a civilian. This has been pointed out on several occasions to Ministers and the MoD. The SPVA has requested that they are given access to medically discharged personnel as soon as possible to allow them to give advice and guidance on welfare and benefits etc.

The information on Veterans in prison again is incomplete. What about those from Northern Ireland and Scotland? Our armed forces come from all four corners of the UK and boundaries / borders shouldn’t stop a complete answer.

I have just listen to these two young lads. They explain their personal experience and the failures in the present systems. When they talk about touchdown in the UK and hospitals etc, they talk about ethos and understand by civilian nurses and the general public. The abuse afforded to them by some people.
If only our political masters had half their professional attitude to life and their respect to others, may be they would understand why people in this country are fed up with spin and bean counting...
Look forward to your comments. OCC
