Compensation in the form of a war pension, under the War Pensions Scheme, is available to all former members of HM Armed Forces who suffer disablement which is attributable to service prior to 6 April 2005 including nuclear test veterans. The scheme also makes provision for the widows and widowers of service and ex-service personnel whose death is attributable to service in the form of a war widows’, or widowers’ pension.
The Ministry of Defence has no plans to pay common law compensation. On 14 March 2012, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of Ministry of Defence on all lead cases that claims by nuclear test veterans were time-barred, and further declined to allow the claims to proceed under the statutory discretion. In handing down judgment, all seven justices recognised that the veterans would face great difficulty proving a causal link between illnesses suffered and attendance at the tests.
An independent review of the rules governing the award of military medals is being conducted by Sir John Holmes. Sir John's interim report was published in July and found the overall approach of the rules and principles governing the award of military medals to be reasonably based. However, he did identify areas where it may be worth considering whether the rules could be applied with greater flexibility and transparency and suggested that further work be undertaken to take a fresh look at some of the main medal controversies of the past. This work is not yet complete.
