Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the current method and rate of calculation is for (a) Guaranteed Income Payment and (b) Loss of Promotions factors for veterans entitled to compensation.

Calculation of the Guaranteed Income Payment can be found in Article 24 of the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) Order at the following link: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2011/517/contents

Part of the calculation includes establishing the 'base figure' consisting of multiplying the individual's relevant salary by a factor. These factors can be found in the table at Schedule 4 of the Order. Compensation for loss of promotion is included in the construction of these factors.
