The resulting LoS may reflect their current period of service, include previous service, or it may be the time that has elapsed since they first joined the Armed Forces, irrespective of any break in service.

answer text <p>In 2018, the Army Families Federation received a LIBOR grant distributed via the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust (AFCFT), to employ an additional adviser for a period of five years to provide support to Army families. The AFCFT had no role in the appointment of that adviser or oversight of their work. The Army Families Federation is an independent charity. As such the Ministry of Defence is not required to collect information about their work.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Judicial Reviews relating to immigration decisions including those seeking reviews of Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK applications are a matter for the Home Office. The Home Office have advised that most such cases would be dealt with via an Immigration Tribunal and there is no central data held on that.</p> more like this
