Ill-Health Benefits - Non-attributable ill-health benefits
Armed Forces (Pensions and Compensation) Bill
10:00 am
Mr Ivor Caplin (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Ministry of Defence; Hove, Labour)
I hope to help on this important issue. We are talking about instances that occur after the commencement of the legislation on 6 April 2005 in relation to compensation. Yes, it will apply to those serving today, but only in relation to an incident that occurred after the effective date of the legislation.
