Hi All,

Got this in my email today. This man is on a mission and I think we can help him.

Choooooooo,

Andy.




Hi Guys,

My name is Adam Douglas. I have asked Jean-Claude to pass this message out to you all from the Ex Mil website. I am a former member of HM Forces Regular Army and a former member of our Reserve Forces.

I was wounded in action in the invasion and war fighting phase of Op Telic back in 2003. Therefore I am under the old system of war pensions and do not come under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) which was introduced in 2005.

To cut a very long story short, back in January 2006, I took the promise of a “World Class System of Treatment Support and Benefits” to a Judicial Independent Tribunal hearing. It took a very slow system until the 18th June 2008 to be heard.

It was the unanimous decision in less than 5 minutes deliberation of the Judicial hearing that the entire statement and promise had not been delivered in my case and found The Veterans Agency, the DWP, the DWP (DLA), the DWP (DLA Mobility), the DWP (DLA Care), Social Services, The Leeds NHS Trust along with the Leeds PCT and finally the Job Centre Plus (Disability) all at fault. This list is by no means complete as there are at least 10 to 15 other minor organizations that I have to deal with every day IE district nurses etc etc.

This system has failed to deliver any of these promises and routinely brakes down on a day to day basis, the main reason is that so many organizations and agencies are having to share information or await information and decisions having been made or taken by another agency first. I am at this moment, the only ex service person to have taken the system of treatment support and benefits to any form of hearing separate to the compensation scheme and won. I have a certificate from the Crown stating and supporting my actions against the Government on this matter. This story will be featured soon on the Trevor McDonald Tonight programme, along with other Service failings that have become apparent regarding Selly Oaks.

In order to also place further pressure on the Prime Minister and the Defence Secretary and also for the Trevor McDonald Tonight programme to have further evidence, I have been asked to compile a return and petition of anyone else that has suffered under either the old War Pensions scheme or the new AFCS.

For those of you who would like to take part in this or have suffered, please send a blank e mail to the following address adouglasukipleeds@btinternet.com I will then forward you an Excel spreadsheet to fill in and the return.

Unfortunately, this needs to be completed for the Trevor McDonald Tonight programme by the end of Wednesday the 8th Aug. by doing this, we will with your help, place further pressure on the Government and bring further into public knowledge, the failings of this inadequate, derisory and demeaning system that treats our wounded and injured colleagues.

If you cant make the Wednesday deadline, still fill it in and send back so it can be given as a petition to the Prime Minister at a later date.

Sincerely

Adam
