If it is fact then something is very wrong.

How do they know she got the RSI at work though ?? .. :hmm:
I did notice that the qouted figure of £484,000 is made up of Compensation and Legal fees, wonder what the split is there.

Legal costs and expert medical opinions don't come cheap, and it sounds like there was a bit of a ding-dong. Until we know what the actual amount of compensation was, I'd be tempted not to indulge the Daily Mail's penchant for sensationalism.

The legal argument is very simple - if you go off to war as a serving soldier the chances of sustaining a permanent injury are pretty high, so the compensation is correspondingly low. When you tip up at the typing pool at 9 o'clock every morning you are not expecting to be the victim of a life changing injury, so when you can "prove" you have one - Ker-ching!
We all know it's bollocks, but that's the marvellous justice system we have.
