95-year-old war hero told to sell his home to pay for medical care because he 'survived too long'

Bob Frost, the elderly war veteran who hurt himself after he had a bad fall and was admitted to a hospital, was told to pay for the care he got because he owned a house
UPDATED NOV 13, 2018

An RAF hero and his former spy partner have now been told to sell their home in order to pay for his medical bills because he has "survived too long". 95-year-old Bob Frost and 94-year-old Mildred Schultz live in Sandwich, Kent. They have been left completely shocked because the property worth £300k is all he has left to give his children after he died. Frost was a rear gunner who managed to avoid being captured by the Nazis in 1942. 

The Sun reported that he was admitted to The Queen Elizabeth Queen Mother Hospital in March this year. The elderly war veteran hurt himself after he had a bad fall. The night after he was admitted, he moved to the Ami Court nursing home in Dover and was put onto an NHS funded "end of life care" programme which is estimated to cost up to £5,000 per month.
