Funding crisis stops referrals to veterans' mental health charity

Combat Stress says decision to turn down new cases was taken 'with great sadness'

A mental health charity for military veterans is no longer able to take new cases in England or Wales because of a funding crisis.

Combat Stress said its income has fallen from 16m to 10m in this financial year partly because of a cut in its NHS funding support, and said the decision to turn down new cases had been taken "with great sadness".
