Armed Forces Compensation Scheme
- Question
- Whether they will advise claimants under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme on the uses of personal injury trusts and their establishment.
- Answer
-
The Ministry of Defence is not qualified to provide individuals with financial advice. However, where an award for injury or illness is made under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme, the letter of notification explains the implications of capital sums for income-related state benefits, the possible advantages of placing injury awards in trust, and advises that the individual can obtain further advice from the Department for Work and Pensions or an independent adviser.
