Military charity Help for Heroes has been criticised by some of the UK's worst-wounded troops for spending money on buildings rather than everyday care.
They claim the recovery centres are not always available to veterans who have left the forces.
The criticism was uncovered in a report by BBC Newsnight and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism into state and charity provision for injured troops.
Help for Heroes says that, without its cash, the centres would not exist.
However, injured troops and their families who were contacted for the investigation complained that the charity was subsidising multi-million pound Ministry of Defence building projects, when money was needed for practical everyday help for injured service personnel and veterans.
A classic example of what I'm talking about. The more the hard working fundraisers and volunteers in all areas of society do, the more the government will cut. My taxes should be helping these wounded soldiers who risked their lives for us.
Surely, that's the very least they should expect?
