Legal framework in Wales
Welsh-resident veterans claim under the law of England and Wales. Most claims must be brought within three years of the date of knowledge under the Limitation Act 1980, with the court's discretion to extend under section 33 in appropriate cases.
Civil claims against the MoD for service-related noise injury are possible for negligence committed on or after 15 May 1987 (Crown Proceedings (Armed Forces) Act 1987).
FAQs
Wales — common questions
Yes. Live-firing and weapons training at the Infantry Battle School and Sennybridge Training Area are well-recognised sources of noise exposure. Eligibility depends on the dates of your service and the circumstances, not the specific base.
