The War Pensions and Armed Forces Compensation Schemes are jointly resourced and administered. The impact of the implementation of the Boyce Review on the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (Cm 7798, published February 2010) and its subsequent publicity campaign, combined with an increase in the number of applications for War Disablement Pension (linked to more people with pre-April 2005 service reaching the end of their engagement), led to delays in processing prospective claims.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 04/09/2014 12:50:05 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
