Those Aussie kidders

Some of these Aussie claims for PTSD etc. are a hoot.

Case 22. The 20 year old Navy rating on HMAS Derwent's last trip
that spent 10 hrs off the front beach of Vung Tau while "The Ferry"
was unloading/loading. He put in a claim for PTSD because the radar
picked up an "unidentified" aircraft and he "panicked out of fear that
the aircraft might have been hostile". The aircraft 'squawked'
friendly 40 secs later. Would you believe he has lodged an appeal to
the Federal Court because his claim by the AAT on 21 Aug 00 was
knocked back?

Case 12. A Veteran died in 1977 and his widow remarried again
later that year and the marriage lasted until she divorced her second
husband in 1983. In 1992 she had the hide to reapply for a "war widows
pension" in relation to her first husband's death.
The AAT also dismissed her appeal.
