Tribunal Monday PTSD client. VUK say for 7 years he could work. ALL evidence said he couldn’t. Tribunal agreed with us. Max award.
The end! @irwinmitchell @Vixxmclean @kim_fjacks @HannahDowling88 @HayleyJaneBird

[Amanda-marsh @amandamarsh2016]

Quite emotional reading these and the difference that can be made with perseverance when often a client loses the will to fight. Very proud indeed of our team and the dedication in never giving up. @irwinmitchell

[Geraldine McCool @GeraldineMcCoo1]

Good coverage of this case in @thetimes today. My former team-mate @irwinmitchell Chelsea Towner on #tinnitus following her client’s wish to share his story to highlight help available.

Today I was able to share the good news with my client that I have finally secured an increase in his AFCS claim. It only took 4 A59 challenges and 2 formal complaints but finally it was conceded that my client clearly met the criteria for a higher award. ❤️✔️#nevergiveup

[Kim Jackson @kim_fjacks]

An emotional way to end the week but today after 5 years we brought to conclusion a Veteran's AFCS claim for PTSD without the need for Tribunal. The lifetime value added ensures that they and their loved ones are secure for life. So lovely to be able to deliver the news! 🤗

[Hayley Jane Bird @HayleyJaneBird]

Very important for those that may have been exposed.

Last week we concluded a client's AFCS claim which faced numerous challenges from arguing that the incident was service related to causation of injuries. Amazing to deliver the news to them and their family that they would now be in receipt of a £1.6m award over their lifetime

[Amanda-marsh @amandamarsh2016]

Never forget how important art 59 is. It can be the silver bullet when all other processes are exhausted plus you get additional appeal rights. Always ask the question @irwinmitchell @Vixxmclean

So important to be aware of the different mechanisms for reopening AFCS cases beyond standard timeframes! As a team we know inside out how best to use review provisions if applicable resulting in many successes @amandamarsh2016 @Vixxmclean #AFCS

There seems to be something badly and systemically wrong with the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme. I’m told it’s an “adversarial” process that “dehumanises” claimants. Shattered hips from bullets put in same class as ‘fractured leg’ for payment. Not good. https://t.co/VD6CVMuQhP
