RAF typist who hurt thumb is awarded eight times more than soldier who lost leg

An RAF typist who injured her thumb at work is to be paid almost half a million pounds by the Ministry of Defence. The civilian's award is almost 30 times the amount a serviceman would receive for the same injury. It is eight times more than a soldier would receive for losing a leg and almost double the amount he could expect if he lost both legs.
