Not personally, however i know several Australian ex-servicemen who have been treated in similar ways by their employers, my late father included.
For some reason we have a culture of ignoring the fact that we ask our servicemen and women to handle dangerous materials often without proper protective equipment or training or even knowledge of the dangers and risks.

Regardless of any compensation, the real issue is that they need to put an end to putting people at risk by simply doing their jobs.
