@giffordhead.co.uk email coming your way today to ask your advice on my War Pension case that the MOD has appealed to the Upper Tribunal
I know you like legal obscurities… 😉

Delighted to see a local paper discuss the UK MOD War Pension scheme and its support for those harmed on duty before 6 April 2005
Well done @devonlive.com

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

PIP legislation + my concerns about:
1. Impact on service personnel + veterans harmed on duty (Armed Forces Covenant)
2. Claimed justification
Here's the email I've just sent my MP (Mel Stride) and Ministers at #DWP and #MOD

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

Map of Central Devon parliamentary constituency
Does anyone know any veterans or service personnel with Armed Forces Compensation Scheme/War Pension challenges and living in the constituency of Central Devon?
Approximate constituency map (recently changed so may be out of date)
Thinking about contacting MP, Mel Stride

@ianh1978.bsky.social has extraordinary personal experience of being harmed during their military service
and
as a result of deficient Ministry of Defence ill-health pension decision-making, inc taking case to Parliamentary & Health Service Ombudsman

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
#starterpack #SCI #spinalcordinjury #AFCS #warpension
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.

Veteran Law Project submission to the 2024 Strategic Defence Review
Tl;dr
UK military personnel injured on duty are being let down by poor Ministry of Defence Armed Forces Compensation Scheme decision-making
