Am I entitled to a War Disablement Pension (WDP)?

Anyone affected physically or mentally by their military service prior to 2005 can apply for a WDP via Veterans UK which varies in amount depending on agreed percentage of disability.  After 2005 the scheme is called Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) and results in a lump sum payment.  Applications will be considered on their merits and, if successful, compensation paid from the point of application.
