Another ex-serviceman who can't get the treatment he needs.

Harris Tatakis, a former corporal in the Royal Marines, received multiple injuries in an IED blast. He was discharged just over a year ago and tried to get back into his recovery centre in Plymouth after months without treatment, but says he was turned away by the MoD.

Help for Heroes is currently funding a £22m building project on the site.

He said: "I'm on the doorstep of the recovery centre and it's a shut door. Once you're discharged, they're not there for you anymore they're there for the next injured serviceman coming in."

Mr Tatakis ended up having to pay for his own twice-weekly physiotherapy sessions, but said that after a year he could no longer afford it.
