Comment on payment

I have just read a comment posted on my local papers website.

The guy who commented thinks I only got the payment due to media coverage. This is not the case, I got the payment through the hard work and perserverance of my solicitor and the MoD admitting liability. If they thought for one moment that this payment was not backed up they would not have paid out.
The guy worked on warships and is angry because he cannot get a payment. He has every right to be angry and I am sure there are campaigns around that are fighting this corner.
I am sorry he didn’t get his rightful payment but saying mine was due to media coverage is wrong.
