If you have served in the Armed Forces, it isn’t too late to claim for hearing loss or tinnitus but time is running out.
- Recent changes in the law have made the claims process easier and faster.
- You may have been exposed to excessive noise such as;
- Gunfire
- Explosives
- Aircraft noise
- Ship engine rooms
- Armoured vehicles and other machinery
- Before 1987, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) had the protection of “Crown Immunity” and claims for hearing loss and other injuries couldn’t be made. However, service after 1987 does entitle personnel to certain Health & Safety law protection.
- More and more veterans are coming forward because while slight hearing loss may not seem too troublesome, it can deteriorate and can cut careers short or make finding suitable employment difficult. We can recover compensation not just for the injury (see the compensation tariff below), but also for loss of earnings and the latest state of the art hearing aids if required.
- How far can I go back? You can claim for exposure to excessive noise for any service back to 1987. There are typically time limits for claiming of 3 years from when noise induced hearing loss was diagnosed however symptoms may only surface many years after exposure to noise.
