BBC News | UK POLITICS | Army mistake costs veterans millions

Officials in the Army, unlike their Navy and RAF counterparts, did not realise disability pensions awarded to wounded soldiers and their widows for the past 50 years should have been tax-free.

The mistake led to tax being wrongly deducted from the payments and surviving veterans who were affected are now being reimbursed.

The MoD said it had examined the files of more than 25,000 former soldiers and in 1,003 cases pensions were underpaid.
