Veteran's roof damage wrangle but insurers claim 'it wasn't windy enough' for pay-out

A Gulf War veteran is locked in a stand-off with an insurance company that is allegedly refusing to pay out after the roof blew off his home in high winds.

Steve Clews - who suffers from Gulf War syndrome and has had a stroke - returned home from a medical appointment last Friday to discover rubble strewn over his front garden in Sneyd Green, Stoke-on-Trent.

Firefighters placed a cordon around his 'dangerous' property, but Steve has since been told that he's not eligible for a payout as it 'wasn't windy enough,' reports StokeonTrentLive.
