Thanks guys
Our solicitor says our $5000 is running low but because we paid him capped at that unless we have to go to the correct appeals tribunal, we don't have to pay him anything more yet!!! Alex and I are just both so sick of their BULL; but we won't be giving up. Like I said to Alex even if in the end they decide to stick to their present guns, there has to be something we can do. Especially because of theway Alex was treated by other military personnell after his diagnosis before they discharged him... I have been searching the net and I think I will just tell MCRS that if they don't pay him out we will be suing the Australian defence force for discharging him; but they will likely know that this an empty threat.
