Legal disclaimer

The information published on Military Hearing Claims UK (the “Site”) is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not intended to be, and must not be relied upon as, legal advice on any specific matter. Reading this Site does not create a solicitor–client relationship between you and [Firm legal name], its solicitors, or any contributor to the Site.

Every legal matter is fact-specific. The application of the law to your circumstances may differ materially from the general principles discussed here. You should not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of any content on this Site without first obtaining formal, written legal advice from a qualified solicitor regulated in the jurisdiction in which your claim arises.

Content on this Site refers principally to the law of England and Wales, including the Crown Proceedings (Armed Forces) Act 1987, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, the Limitation Act 1980, and Ministry of Defence policy documents such as JSP 375. The law in Scotland and Northern Ireland may differ. The Site is not directed at users outside the United Kingdom and nothing on it should be treated as advice on the law of any other jurisdiction.

We take reasonable care to ensure that the information on the Site is accurate at the date of publication. However, the law, regulatory guidance, court procedure and Ministry of Defence policy change regularly. We make no representation or warranty, express or implied, that any content remains accurate, complete or up to date at the time you read it.

References to time limits, including the three-year primary limitation period under the Limitation Act 1980 and the seven-year window for claims under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme, are general statements of principle. Time limits may run from different dates in different cases and may be extended or shortened in particular circumstances. You must take specific advice on the limitation position in your case without delay.

Any reference to compensation brackets, settlement values, or the Judicial College Guidelines reflects published guidance only. The value of any individual claim depends on the medical evidence, the claimant’s service history, the strength of the breach-of-duty case, and the position taken by the Ministry of Defence. Past outcomes do not predict the outcome of any future claim.

Where the Site links to third-party websites — including the Ministry of Defence, Veterans UK, the Royal British Legion, Combat Stress, or the Judicial College — those links are provided for convenience only. We do not control, endorse, or accept responsibility for the content of any third-party site.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, [Firm legal name] and the publisher of this Site exclude all liability for any loss or damage (including indirect or consequential loss) arising from your use of, or reliance on, any content on the Site. Nothing in this disclaimer limits or excludes liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Legal services referenced on this Site are provided by [Firm legal name], registered office [Registered office address], authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority under SRA number [SRA number]. The SRA Standards and Regulations, including the SRA Code of Conduct for Solicitors, RELs and RFLs, apply to the conduct of any retainer.
