Under the armed forces compensation scheme, the people who think they have a problem and wish to make a claim, at any time while they are in service, can put a claim in and then it will be assessed to see if they're due an award.
With mental health issues, it is something that is more difficult because it's not like breaking an arm or something, so sometimes things take longer to appear than others. It might be that they present problems a couple of years after the incident, in which case, they would put a claim in and it probably wouldn't have gone to its conclusion, so it's quite possible we would pay an interim award. We would then review it again in a year's time to see if that is relevant to how their problems have progressed and we would reassess it then.
