Hearing Loss Compensation Claim

If you choose to proceed with a hearing loss compensation claim, we will begin gathering supporting evidence. This may include medical assessments, expert reports, or statements from witnesses. We can arrange for specialists to evaluate your condition and prepare the necessary documentation, and we will liaise with all relevant parties to collect the information on your behalf. Where you may need to obtain certain evidence yourself, we’ll guide you step-by-step so you feel fully supported throughout.

 

Once we have built a strong case demonstrating your entitlement to compensation, we will submit a formal letter of claim to the MOD.

Signs & Symptoms of Military Hearing Loss

Misunderstanding People

People with hearing loss often find it difficult to engage in conversations with multiple people and struggle to understand what is being said.

Ringing, Hissing or Buzzing

Another sign of hearing loss is the sound of ringing, hissing, buzzing, clicking, roaring or drilling in your ear(s).

Turning up the TV

Do you often find people telling you to turn down the TV or Radio, but you can just about hear it? You may be suffering from hearing loss.

Dish, Wish, Hiss

Words that end with s, h, h, or th are suddenly much harder to make out if they are heard at all. speaking may often sound muffled.

Increased Stress

Feeling tired or stressed from having to concentrate while listening during conversations is very common with hearing loss.

Social Situations

Avoidance of social situations due to trouble hearing what’s going on around you is a sign that your hearing may be deteriorating.

Making Your Military Hearing Loss Claim

Our mission is to enable our clients to access justice without fear of financial burden.

Claims for any hearing-related issues, such as deafness, hearing loss, or tinnitus, can be submitted if they have been caused by service.

This includes both current and former members of the armed forces. We understand that hearing problems may have long-lasting effects on your life and we are committed to ensuring you receive the support you deserve.

MoD - Hearing Loss Compensation

Hearing loss can be caused by a range of factors, including extended exposure to loud noises and traumatic events, like gunshots. It may develop slowly over time or be sudden and unexpected; in addition, it may occur in one ear or both. Regardless of the cause, hearing loss can have a significant impact on your daily life.

If you are filing a Military hearing loss claim, we recommend that you be evaluated by a medical professional so the extent of your injury may be determined.

Our team is happy to provide this evaluation free of cost as part of our service.

Military PTSD Claims – Specialist Legal Support from Lincoln Lewis

Standing Strong with Those Who Served

At Lincoln Lewis, we understand the unique pressures and challenges faced by serving personnel and veterans. PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is one of the most common service-related injuries, often resulting from combat, traumatic incidents, or prolonged operational stress.

Our firm specialises in Military PTSD compensation claims, providing expert legal representation to help you secure the recognition, support, and financial compensation you deserve.

What is - Military PTSD?

PTSD is a serious mental health condition that may develop after witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. Within the Armed Forces, these events may include:

  • Combat exposure or life-threatening situations
  • Serious training accidents
  • Witnessing injury or death of colleagues
  • Military sexual trauma
  • Prolonged high-pressure environments
  • Bullying, harassment, or failures within the chain of command

Common symptoms include:

  • Intrusive memories or flashbacks
  • Nightmares
  • Hypervigilance or irritability
  • Severe anxiety or depression
  • Emotional numbness or detachment
  • Difficulty sleeping or concentrating

Left untreated, PTSD can severely affect your wellbeing, relationships and ability to work.

Can You Claim Compensation for Military PTSD?

You may be entitled to compensation if:

  • Your PTSD was caused or worsened by military service
  • Trauma could have been prevented
  • The Ministry of Defence (MoD) failed in its duty of care
  • You experienced inadequate support, equipment, or training
  • You suffered bullying, harassment or discrimination

Whether your injury occurred during service, on deployment, in training, or after discharge, Lincoln Lewis can assess your eligibility and guide you through your options.

Routes to Military PTSD Compensation

There are two main ways to claim compensation for service-related PTSD:

  1. Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS)

The AFCS provides no-fault compensation for injuries caused by service on or after 6 April 2005. Awards may include:

  • Lump-sum payments
  • Guaranteed Income Payment (GIP) for long-term disability

AFCS claims typically need to be made within seven years of the incident or diagnosis.

  1. Civil (Negligence) Claims Against the MoD

A civil claim may be possible if negligence contributed to your injury. A civil PTSD claim through Lincoln Lewis may include compensation for:

  • Pain, suffering, and loss of amenity
  • Loss of earnings and pension
  • Long-term treatment and rehabilitation
  • Care and support needs
  • Impact on relationships, work, and daily life

In some cases, both AFCS and civil claims may be pursued.

How PTSD Severity is Assessed

A specialist medical expert will assess:

  • The severity and frequency of your symptoms
  • Their impact on your daily life
  • Your ability to work
  • Long-term prognosis
  • The wider effect on your wellbeing and relationships

This medical evaluation forms a crucial part of building a strong, well-supported claim.
