British heroes have been denied medals after meddling from officials at the Ministry of Defence, the Mirror can reveal.
Internal emails show the head of a medal committee agreeing to follow “lines to take” from “our compensation colleagues” and accepting bogus information about nuclear test veterans.
He wrongly linked medals to the issue of whether servicemen were injured - in clear breach of the rules - and went on to refuse gongs for five different groups of ex-servicemen.
