Compensation payments are administered and funded by the suppliers at no cost to the Ministry of Defence.
Data for January 2023 – April 2023 can only be provided at disproportionate cost as each individual claim would need to be assessed against several systems.
In April 2023, Pinnacle introduced a new improved compensation system. As well as speeding up the processing of claims and issuing of payments, this enables the provision of more detailed data.
For some claims, Pinnacle are unable to attribute them to a region as they were not provided with complete address data. These are listed in the ‘unknown column’.
