    Re: left P7RD

    When it first happened he spent a week in the ward in nelson (in the old days when there was a ward)- waiting for the swelling to go down - then as already
    said plastered for 6 weeks then RTB.

    Sorry to be a pain on here - but was unsure as to correct procedures.
    At no point was an MBOS mentioned - and again as previously mentioned I was LH in the WMO Med office so i knew what was going on- despite being the "wife"!!

    He did try to withdraw his notice, but was constantly told "due to medcat you cant - it wont be accepted / etc etc"- so on his leaving medical the civvy doc at nelson left him in medcat P7RD.

    Cheers for all your help guys;

    Re: Discharged P7RD

    im not an expert but yip if he had notice in and was downgraded then its up to navy if they decide to allow him to withdraw notice.Can you try and get his navy medical docs under new rules of freedom of information???.i reckon you do have a case and the legion will help.

    I found that the war pensions people in Blackpool arer eally helpful. You may even get a pension from them. Leigon of course but there is always the problem of date of initial injury for litigation, believe it is 10 years so be quick and register your complaint.
    If you go down that route you may not receive teh full pensionable entitlement.
    I let my injury date slip by just a few weeks so could not sue. However I did get a monthly war pension & by that also get a war pensioners disability allowance & a park anywhere badge too..

    hope that helps
