The family of a seriously wounded soldier say they feel let down by the army. It's threatening him with medical discharge, meaning he'll no longer get help to pay for his care.
The family of the most seriously wounded Allied soldier to survive fighting in Afghanistan say he's being let down by the Army - who're threatening him with a military discharge. Lance Bombardier Ben Parkinson, lost both legs, suffered brain damage and a broken back and spent four months in a coma after his Land Rover was ripped apart by an anti-tank mine in September 2006. Military discharge would mean Ben's family paying for all his medical care - which at the moment adds up to 30 hours a week.
