The Secretary of State’s decision
The Secretary of State’s decision
The Appellant made a claim under the AFCS in respect of his PTSD in August 2017. On 5 October 2017 the Veterans UK decision-maker placed the Appellant’s PTSD as an interim award at Table 3, Item 4, Level 12. On 4 April 2019 that award was finalised on the same basis, the decision-maker accepting medical advice to the effect that Mr H did “not appear to be engaging with specialist services and is not receiving any specialist mental health input”. That decision was maintained following reconsideration on 6 January 2020. On 13 February 2020 the Appellant lodged an appeal.
