The authority told her the reason for the reduction was that "the evidence shows that your excessive consumption of alcohol was a contributing factor in the incident". |
To me, that reads that the compensation came about after her complaint against the Police. This could of easily been for emotional stress caused by the way the Police dealt with the case - which could well be classed as an injury.
