Moat victim Pc faces £18pw benefit fight
The police officer blinded by gunman Raoul Moat has revealed he is fighting the Government after being awarded £18.95-a-week mobility allowance.
Pc David Rathband, 42, said it was “somehow not fair” that he had been awarded the lowest band for his disability living allowance. The Northumbria Police officer lost sight in both eyes after he was blasted while sitting unarmed in a patrol car.
