The Armed Forces Compensation Scheme is the compensation package for members of the Armed Forces. It provides compensation, without fault, across the full range of circumstances in which illness, injury or death may arise as a result of service.
The Scheme covers all Regular (including Gurkhas) and Reserve personnel, dependants of Regular or Reserve personnel and former members of the Armed Services whose injury, ill health or death is caused by service on or after 6 April 2005.
The Scheme provides compensation for injuries, illness and death that are caused by service including when they result from warlike incidents or terrorism.

The normal rules relating to employers’ liability also apply to the MOD, and members of HM Forces still have the option to sue the MOD for negligence if they believe the MOD, as their employer, has acted negligently – for instance in failing to supply adequate or proper equipment.
