Soldier who lost leg in Afghanistan has £180 disability cash axed

Private Aron Shelton 26, lost the benefit as he can now limp 400 metres. Aron, of East Yorks, said: “I fight for my country but it doesn’t even look after me.” To his country, Private Aron Shelton gave up nine years of his life.
He lost one leg and may yet lose the other. He saw one of his best friends killed in the explosion that has crippled him for life.
In return? His country did not think him worth a paltry £180 a month to help him cope with those injuries.
Aron, 26, who has also served in Northern Ireland, reflected yesterday: “I go to war and fight for my country, but I come home and the Government doesn’t even look after me. It’s not a lot to ask for.
“But they don’t give a stuff. I feel like I’ve left one battle and got into another.”


It is a sadness and anger shared by fiancée Callan Fowler, 20, who fumed: “Aron has not only fought for his country, he has lost a limb. The whole system stinks.

If you think Arons case is disgusting and that our men and women who have served this Country sometimes being terribly mentally and physically injured did not cause the huge deficit and as such should not be targeted by uncaring DSS contractors who’s sole interest is to take money away from these Heroes, then let your voice be heard and join my Face-book Group PROTECT OUR DISABLED SERVICEMEN & WOMEN FROM GOVERNMENT CUTS
