There are no plans for an inquiry into the process for War Pensions or Armed Forces Compensation payments. The existing process remains effective, fit for purpose, and functioning satisfactorily. Where issues are identified, the Ministry of Defence is committed to addressing these and remedial action is taken swiftly to ensure the process remains as efficient, transparent, and empathic as possible.
