The Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) provides compensation for injuries, illnesses or death caused by service in the UK armed forces on or after 6 April 2005.
There is no time limit for making a claim while you are still serving. After leaving service you have 7 years to claim, though late claims may be accepted in exceptional circumstances.
Armed Forces pension entitlements depend on which scheme you were a member of — AFPS 75, AFPS 05, or AFPS 15. Most serving personnel are now in AFPS 15, a career average scheme.
War pensions are also available for those who were injured or became ill due to service before 6 April 2005, and for dependants of those who died in service.
Veterans have a range of support available when returning to civilian employment. The Career Transition Partnership (CTP) provides free employment support for service leavers.
Local councils also have a statutory duty to give additional preference to veterans with urgent housing need. If you are struggling with housing as a veteran, contact your local council and state your veteran status.
