Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department is providing support to people who are distressed by the application process for the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme.

The Veterans Welfare Service provides one-to-one support to veterans, their families and dependants. Welfare Managers will assist with the completion of forms and offer advice about the claims and appeals process. If the individual is still in service, support can be obtained via their Chain of Command.
