The Ministry of Defence has rejected claims to its LGBT Financial Recognition Scheme, seemingly without merit, according to service charity Fighting with Pride.
The scheme, which pays £50,000 to individuals impacted by the ban on homosexuality in Britain’s Armed Forces, is designed to compensate for lost military careers after a judge-led inquiry ruled there had been systemic abuses while the ban was in place.
But with less than a year remaining for veterans to make claims under the scheme, Fighting with Pride said it was seeing an increase in the number of applications being refused – prompting it to secure legal advice for those turned down for payouts.
