How to claim

Fill in the claim form and send it to the address on the form.

It’s the same claim form for the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) and War Pension Scheme (WPS).

You can ask the Veterans Welfare Service (VWS) for help with making your claim.

You may be contacted for more evidence in support of your claim.

You may be able to apply for a ‘fast payment’ of £60,000 if you were seriously injured during service after 8 May 2011.
