[2024] UKUT 191 (AAC)

The Veterans UK decision-maker, acting on behalf of the Secretary of State for Defence, decided that the claimant was entitled to an AFCS award on the basis of his PTSD at Table 3, Item 4, Level 12. The claimant appealed to the First-tier Tribunal, which allowed his appeal in part, ruling that the appropriate descriptor was a step higher at Table 3, Item 3, Level 10. The claimant now appeals to the Upper Tribunal against the decision of the First-tier Tribunal, having argued that the proper descriptor to be applied was in fact at the still higher rate of Table 3, Item 1, Level 6.
