The Government does not currently have any plans to renew the funding for the Veterans Hearing Fund.

The Fund, which was financed by Libor fines, has now closed. It was established to provide additional hearing support to veterans with noise-induced hearing loss and was exclusively for items not supplied by statutory services.
