Medical Discharges
Welcome to the Veterans-UK ‘Medical Discharges’ section. Here you will find information on compensation payments that can be made to those who are due to be or have been medically discharged from HM Armed Forces.
There are two compensation schemes that may apply:
- The Armed Forces Compensation Scheme where the cause of an injury/illness/disablement originated from service on or after 6 April 2005.
- The War Pension Scheme where the cause of an injury/illness/disablement originated from service before 6 April 2005.
More detailed information on these schemes and how claims are processed can be found by clicking on the above links. This section concentrates on the additional special procedures that may apply to those who are being or have been medically discharged.
