Why is this project important?

Hundreds of military personnel are harmed each year while serving in the British military (1).  Those injured since 6 April 2005 may be eligible for a payment through the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS).  Those harmed before 5 April 2005 may instead be eligible for an award under the War Pension Scheme (WPS).  Such awards are processed by the Ministry of Defence department Defence Business Services - Veterans UK

Today, approximately 150,000 individuals have received payments through either the AFCS or WPS schemes

Who we are

Our team is made up of veterans harmed by their service or the service of a loved one.  We all have lived experience of the AFCS and/or war pension scheme including claims, appeals and complaints.  We work with experts in fields such as law, social work, data science and policy-making.

The Veteran Law Project is independent of any public body, charity or university. The Project is run on a voluntary basis and without funding.

Areas of work

• Collecting and analysing legal cases
• Open justice at War Pensions and Armed Forces Compensation Chamber tribunal hearings
• Providing useful resources
