FAQs
Who are Veterans for Veterans?
We are a collective of United Kingdom Armed Forces veterans who share a common journey of service and sacrifice. Over time, we’ve observed the challenges and complexities veterans face in navigating the compensation process for injuries sustained during their service. Frustrated by the lack of clarity and support, we’ve banded together to offer guidance and assistance. Our mission is twofold: to support fellow veterans in their pursuit of rightful compensation and to collaborate with law firms to streamline their practices for veteran clients. Through our experience and expertise, we provide invaluable insights to law firms, ensuring that their processes are not only comprehensible but also tailored to the unique needs of veterans. We are selective in our partnerships, choosing to collaborate only with firms that demonstrate a genuine commitment to improving their services for veterans.
Will claiming affect my employment status or my future military career?
Your claim remains confidential, safeguarding your privacy unless you opt for public disclosure. If you’re currently employed, it would be unlawful for your employer to penalise you for pursuing a claim against your employer. However, it’s important to note that in certain cases, such as when court proceedings are initiated, your claim might become public knowledge.
Will claiming affect my ability to get a job in the future?
If you possess the physical capability to fulfil the requirements of the job, pursuing a claim shouldn’t impede your prospects for future employment.
How much compensation could I receive for a military hearing loss claim?
We cannot assure you of any specific entitlement amount. Nevertheless, historically, numerous cases have resulted in settlements that vary drastically, with slight hearing loss claims starting from around £4,500 and more complex cases exceeding £10,000. Some cases can be considerably higher, with complex cases warranting compensation of £60,000 plus. The final settlement largely hinges on the unique circumstances of each individual case, as no two cases are identical.
How long does a military hearing loss claim take?
As with any claiming process, the duration of how long it takes for a military hearing claim to settle can vary. Typically, between 9 to 18 months is a good ballpark figure. However, the complexity of the case will influence this.
It is worth considering that cases have experienced unexpected delays, primarily due to a surge in volume compounded by the post-Covid capacity limitations of courts in England and Wales. While the backlog has somewhat diminished, it will still take considerable time for operations to normalise fully. Additionally, many cases are being managed through group action, necessitating specific court procedures. While this temporarily affects the pace of other cases, it’s anticipated that (within the next year) this approach will significantly expedite the process.
