War Pension Scheme: claiming for further conditions
Information and guidance on how to claim for further conditions when you have a War Disablement Pension.
Overview
You can ask for a claim for further conditions to be considered at any time. If your claim is successful, we will normally only pay the new amount from the date we received your new claim.
Eligibility
If you have already claimed a War Pension and you have an additional condition which you think was also caused or made worse by service in the armed forces before 6 April 2005, you can apply to claim for a further condition.
Important information
If you already have a War Pension but your existing condition has changed, you can apply for a review of your assessment.
How to claim
To report a further condition and make a claim, complete the claim form.
The form comes with notes telling you how to fill it in.
If you cannot download or print the form, phone or email the Veterans UK Helpline to ask for a copy.
