Making Your PTSD Claim
Our mission is to enable our clients to access justice without fear of financial burden.
PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a mental health condition that can occur following exposure to a traumatic event. It is common among those who have experienced military combat or other forms of violence.
Military service is a common cause of PTSD due to the high levels of stress, exposure to violence and loss, and constant life-threatening situations. Soldiers may experience PTSD symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, depression, and feelings of detachment.
These symptoms can have a significant impact on the individual’s quality of life, relationships, and ability to perform everyday tasks. You may be able to claim compensation for PTSD if you are suffering from PTSD as a result of your time in the armed forces. We can help you claim compensation, which will provide you with financial support for your condition.
A medical team will be able to determine the level of disability resulting from PTSD based on factors such as the severity of your symptoms and the impact on your ability to function. It is essential to recognise the symptoms and seek help from a mental health professional as soon as possible.

FAQ's
Here are some of the answers to frequently asked questions. If you cannot find what you’re looking for here, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us and our team will happily answer any queries.
Still have questions?
Why Can’t I Claim Before 1987?
Due to a clause in the Crown Proceedings Act, claims for military hearing loss prior to May 1987 cannot be made. As a result, those who were exposed to excessive noise while serving in the military will not receive any compensation. It is important to note that this policy applies only to cases before May 1987 and those after may still be eligible for compensation.
Will A Claim Affect My Pension?
No, bringing a claim won’t affect your entitlement to a pension under any of the various Armed Forces Pension Schemes.
Will Claiming Impact My Career?
In the event that you recover from your injuries and can return to work, there are very strict rules about discriminating against someone for bringing a legal claim.
Personnel who file a compensation claim after an injury are not looked down upon by the MoD. The Ministry of Defence pays you a settlement, regardless of whether you return to work or not, out of a budget specifically allocated for this purpose. Your unit’s budget doesn’t cover it and it certainly doesn’t come from the same budget that dictates the amount and quality of gear, equipment, and other resources for your friends who remain in service.
