But the MOD claims that War Pension and Armed Forces Compensation Scheme #AFCS claims aren’t a legal process until an appeal is submitted

Just won my 3rd War Pension appeal against the #MOD 👍

All three were such a waste of time with the MOD in all of them failing to engage with the key points raised

As said by many working in this space, the MOD has an unofficial policy of delay, deny, die

War Pensions Scheme Statistics: 2025 Statistics on the recipients of war pensions, new claims, awards and appeals made under the War Pensions Scheme (WPS).

Latest #MOD War Pension statistics were released yesterday

Covers harm caused to UK military personnel between 1914 and 2005

Will do a deep dive into the scheme in the next fortnight (as well as the parallel, current #AFCS Armed Forces Compensation Scheme)

www.gov.uk/government/s...

But there is a risk that this is a another gravy train, with even more personnel harmed on duty losing 20-30% of the #AFCS compensation they’re owed, rather than just making the claim process fairer from the start

Will gov proposal allow

1. Vets to raise concerns about MOD welfare provisions (eg #AFCS + War Pension mgmt)

(2) MOD staff helping veterans raise concerns as whistleblower?

PIP legislation + my concerns about:

1. Impact on service personnel + veterans harmed on duty (Armed Forces Covenant)

2. Claimed justification

When you complain about an Official Statistic having a glaring error, repeated annually since 2017

And forget to highlight that the error demonstrates the statistics are not being “managed impartially”,

but used to represent the gov dept in a better light than the case🤦‍♂️

Thankfully, their injury falls under the war pension scheme and they can wait to claim;

most currently serving fall under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme and don’t have such a luxury to delay their claim

Hey Zoe,

I research the lack of data relating to British military personnel and veterans injured on duty going through the UK legal system (mostly tribunals) to secure the right compensation / benefits

The UK armed forces community is slowly moving to BlueSky but quiet at the mo

GOAL! #AFCS #COYD

The Armed Forces and Reserve Forces (Compensation Scheme) Order 2011 This Order revokes and re-enacts the Armed Forces and Reserve Forces (Compensation Scheme) 2005 S.I. 2005/439 (“the Scheme”), with modifications incorporating the recommendations of the Review of the ...

And the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme #AFCS (for post-2005 injuries) has the PIP equivalent of #AFIP (Armed Forces Independence Payment)

That legislation also contains no “lapse” reference:

20 years of the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme #AFCS

A blog post on my reflections:
- 127,414 claims
- 1/3 rejected
- 67% of most seriously harmed get much lower award than due
- 99.% of cases at appeal increased or maintained (only 55 / 11,035 reduced)

What starter pack are you itching to set up, but waiting for some of your clan to arrive here (or maybe just to find them, if already here)?

For me:
• AFCS & War Pension
• Spinal Cord Injury

If anyone is in touch with HMCTS War Pension & Armed Forces Compensation Chamber

Could you get their admin team to publish next week’s hearing list?

Tomorrow - 11 November - isn’t a bank holiday. Presumably, people have hearings.
