Former soldier wins MoD payout over PTSD diagnosis and treatment failures

Originally the MoD argued that he had left it too late to make a claim. It said the ex-soldier had knowledge of his PTSD from tests in 1998 and 1999 and should have brought a case within three years.

His lawyers argued that as he was only formally diagnosed in 2004, the time to bring a claim started running at that point. The case was eventually settled out of court.
