Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS)
If you’ve suffered an injury or illness in the course of military service, our solicitors could help you make a claim under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS).
Military Schemes & Processes
A variety of military schemes exist to provide support to serving personnel, veterans and their loved ones. While these frameworks are intended to offer clear pathways to help, they can often be difficult to navigate without specialist guidance. Our team has extensive experience with these processes and can ensure you access the assistance and compensation you deserve.
