DNA TEST WINS MAN £30,000 CHILD SUPPORT REBATE!

A man is set for a £30,000 rebate from the Child Support Agency after a DNA test proved he did not have a son.

Gerard Bradbury, 39, of Priory Court, Cardigan, west Wales, paid up to £100-a-week maintenance for the child for more than seven years after a fleeting affair with a woman.

Now he is set for a £30,000 CSA refund, plus interest, after acting on long held doubts about his fatherhood and paying £200 for a DNA test.

The result proved there was just a one-in-14 million chance that he was the boy's real father.

Mr Bradbury told the BBC in a radio interview today: "The last few years have been a nightmare. But now at last I can get on with my life.

"There must be hundreds of men throughout the country in my situation and I would urge them to have a DNA test."

A CSA spokeswoman said: "The CSA does not make judgments about paternity. If someone comes to us and says he is the father we collect maintenance.
