The combined effects of the implementation of the Boyce Review on the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) and the increase in the number of applications for War Disablement Pension, as a result of more people with pre-April 2005 Service reaching the end of their engagement, led to delays in processing prospective claims for these schemes.<\/p>
<\/p>
Actions were therefore put in place which had the effect of reducing the on-hand cases in the AFCS by half and the programme has returned to target. In War Disablement Pension the on-hand cases have fallen by 35% and waiting times have reduced.<\/p>

A total of 18,276 people were refused entry at port and subsequently departed in 2010 compared with 29,162 in 2009.
The number of people refused entry at port and subsequently departed has decreased since the beginning of the data series in 2004. The overall falls are likely to be due to a combination of factors, including: tighter screening of passengers prior to travel including upstream interventions by RALON; performance of carriers on their checks made in support of the Carrier\u2019s liability requirements; effectiveness of visa regimes including the imposition of new visa regimes; for example, South African nationals have been required to have a visa for any length or type of visit to the UK since July 2009.
In the past couple of years, the figures have shown small levels of fluctuations. The number of passengers refused entry at port and who
subsequently departed has increased by 3% in the year ending June 2014, to 14,671 from 14,247 for the previous 12 months.<\/p>
