This can only add to the chances of the class action succeeding (deservedly so) and MoD shelling out more cash than they would have by following the proper medical discharge route.
An article in a newspaper (can't remember which one) had MoD public approval pre-Telic at 48% and now it is apparently languishing around the 10-20% mark. MoD collectively are a bunch of useless chisellers with a moral and leadership vacuum at the very top. Max Hastings sums it admirably:

Most people in my part of the military organisation (names omitted to protect the guilty) roll their eyes in despair any time "higher formations" are mentioned in a work context. We are excellent at unit level (battalion, station, ship's company) but worse than useless at command and MOD level.
