A LEADING mental health charity for British war veterans is set to clear itself of any wrongdoing, despite complaints from hundreds of traumatised ex-troops about its refusal to treat them.

Combat Stress is preparing to announce the result of a six-month probe, which the charity’s chief executive Sue Freeth will claim “did not find any systemic issue with the discharge of veterans,” according to a leaked letter seen by the Star.

The development will anger war veterans across the country and comes as many are calling for an independent investigation into the charity’s conduct.
