To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when the full written reasons for the decision of the War Pensions and Armed Forces Compensation Chamber of 23 August 2023 will be made available following the request of 6 September 2023 by the respondent; and for what reason the award cannot be paid to the successful appellant.

The provision of a written statement of reasons, following an appeal decision, is the responsibility of the Judge, who is independent of Government. It would therefore be inappropriate for Ministers to comment on this matter. Payment of any award is a matter for the decision-making body, Veterans UK.
