Veterans UK provide a full range of information for people injured, disabled or bereaved by the service, including:
- Support available to those medically discharged
- Information on the Armed and Reserve Forces Pension Schemes
- Information for relatives of those who have died in Service
- Comprehensive details about the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme/ War Pensions Scheme including guides, podcasts and presentations on how to claim, how to deal with worsening injuries and who to contact for more information
This can be found here: http://www.veterans-uk.info/pensionscompensation.htm
The Royal British Legion has details of applying for compensation through the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme/ War Pensions Scheme: http://www.britishlegion.org.uk/can-we-help/compensation-advice
This is an excellent initiative and one that is long overdue. I understand that the Australian Armed Forces have a Judge Advocate at their Ministry of Defence whose role is to argue issues on behalf of service personnel, veterans and their dependants.
