I had the interviews and examinations several years ago and was initially awarded 15% and the associated lump sum but they did not for some reason take My left knee into account on querying this they(?) said I did not report any problems with My left knee but I argued that they had done nothing to help my right knee and logic would decree that as I had attributal damage to my right knee then surely as I done my service on both knees then one would assume that they both had the same problem, I won the appeal and was upped to 21% which is the minimum for a war pension and as previously said is worth £1500 a year. The reason for my disibility is arthritis in both knees and a rotor cuff injury to my left arm, got nothing for my hearing which is bad after 13 years as a tech on the line.
