Does Claiming Impact My Career?

A common concern for many veterans and serving personnel is whether a hearing loss claim will affect their employment or military career.

Your Claim is Entirely Private

It is important to understand that your claim remains confidential between your legal team and the Ministry of Defence (MOD). Unless a case proceeds to a public court hearing—which is exceptionally rare—the details of your claim are not a matter of public record.

Protected by Employment Law

If you are currently employed, your rights are strictly protected. In the military, the MOD is prohibited from discriminating against personnel who bring claims for injuries sustained during service. Seeking the compensation you deserve does not put your job security or your future prospects at risk.

No Impact on Your Pension

Making a civil claim for hearing loss has zero impact on your military pension or the benefits you have already earned. In fact, a successful claim can often secure additional damages to cover:

• • Career Prospects: Compensation for a decrease in future promotion opportunities.
• • Pension Protection: Coverage for losses if your injury forced an early discharge.
• • Legal Rights: You are simply exercising the same rights as any civilian in a standard workplace.

By taking action, you are ensuring your future is protected without compromising the career you have built.
