Military folk the Armed Forces Covenant. What's the best guide you've read that really explains the Covenant, how it works, its strengths and its limitations? Looking for an independent analysis of it in detail.

Veterans Mobility Fund #VMF Anyone had success, since 2024, applying for sports equipment you require because of your service-attributable injury? I'm getting quotes from RMA and RGK for a wheelchair rugby chair. #veteran #military #UK #disability #servicepersonnel

For veterans going through AFCS / WP appeals, Tribunals or just battling Veterans UK(!), invest in a copy of this - the 'Bano Bible'. @CharlieRadUK kindly let me borrow a copy, but as I'm yet again back to Tribunal, I need my own. This, a watch of Legally Blonde, & I'm good to go

I should point out that this is not a CPS matter Health and Safety Executive prosecution, defendant is British Airways Quite why both bodies are unaware of open justice rules & think they can make secret submissions to a court is beyond me

What the judge and barristers probably haven't counted on is my stubborn willingness to pursue my application after this hearing. For weeks and months if necessary. The #OpenJustice failings today are so disappointing, and shouldn't just be allowed to stand

Given the prosecutor turned down my request for a copy of his note about ten minutes into the lunch hour, I wonder if the judge thought I should run out to the local library for printing or routinely carry around my own printer for these such occasions.

In an exciting twist, the judge essentially refused to hear my request, said courts don't spend their time 'sitting on their hands' and have better things to do than hear from me, and then admonished me for not providing written copies of my legal authorities in advance

Journalists are supposed to sit at the back, listen to what is said, and report only that, he says He's adamant that reporters never get access to written material I told him we have a fundamental difference of opinion, and will have to ask the judge...

A prosecutor tells me with supreme confidence that he's unaware of a single barrister who would provide a written note on sentencing to members of the media He's just spent the morning saying in court 'I refer your honour to paragraph X of my note, which I won't read aloud'

Great @POLITICOEurope article by @e_casalicchio “How Britain lost respect for its veterans” Johnny Mercer @ Facebook: “This is probably the fairest assessment l've seen since leaving office about how we as a Nation care for our Veterans. Well worth a read today of all days.”🧵

Those wounded today in the military may claim under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme rather than its War Pension Scheme predecessor, but they still need to represent their harm to allow officials to authorise them an award.

That award making process is long, complicated and causes additional harm to claimants. Politico’s article does a good job of representing some of those challenges. I hope that we can all help decision makers make better initial decisions. That will help all involved. END
