This question was answered on 16th October 2020
Since 1 April 2009, compensation has been paid out to 75 current or former service personnel in respect of PTSD claims. The cases consist of PTSD claims with a clinical negligence nature, ie the failure to diagnose and treat PTSD, as well as Service personal injury claims where PTSD is considered the incident injury.
