MoD loses case over neurological condition

An RAF Corporal who was left with a devastating degenerative neurological condition after he was exposed to dangerous toxins while working in “Victorian conditions” has won a groundbreaking decision after the Court of Appeal dismissed the Ministry of Defence’s case. He was diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy-P (MSAP), a Parkinsonian condition that affects the nervous system, after exposure to a lethal cocktail of solvents as a painter and finisher at RAF sites across the world. There is no cure for the condition, which has left him needing to use a wheelchair.
