‘Any veteran who has an injury or illness as a result of service can apply for financial compensation from one of two schemes run by Veterans UK, a veterans service managed by the Ministry of Defence (MoD). The Armed Forces Compensation Scheme is in place for injuries on or after 6 April 2005. Anything before, is handled by the War Pension Scheme. Veterans have long criticised both schemes. Some say they reject claims unfairly, and are slow to resolve them.’
