An ex-1st Battalion Light Infantry corporal who was left homeless and claiming benefits has called for more support to be given to military veterans when they leave the armed forces.
Marc Hill, 48, who left 1st Battalion Light Infantry after serving 23 years, said he said there was "no game plan" when he left Dreghorn Barracks, near Edinburgh in 2015 and said he ended up sleeping in his car for six months in the Scottish capital as he couldn't find anywhere to live.
Marc, who now lives alone in Southwick, Sunderland, has backed Washington and Sunderland West MP Ms Hodgson, who says she is concerned about more than 150 veterans living on Universal Credit in her constituency and criticised the Government for cutting support to veterans in half.
