Armed Forces: Compensation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, for what reasons his Department cannot delay implementation of payments pending the outcome of an incompleted appeal before the Army Board in relation to individuals seeking compensation for having been illegally dismissed from the Armed Forces as a result of a caution.

Answer

The Armed Forces payment system is not designed for, and only has limited capacity, to accommodate individual financial circumstances. Delays to payments can be made in exceptional circumstances. However, in cases where Ministry of Defence considerations are complete, payment will be made as appropriate.
