SCI in the Military - Practical Advice with Gary Dawson and Steve Brookes

Gaggan and Rhiannon talk to Gary and Steve about some of the key areas where service personnel who suffer an SCI need support. As the topic is so vast, the discussion looked at:
• Financial compensation from legal claims and non-fault based compensation available from the AFCS/War Pension Scheme, PAX Insurance
• Recovery and resettlement and grants
• Military and civilian charities
• Support with the adjustment period after discharge from hospital
• Support with applying for grants for aids and equipment such as wheelchair
• Life after injury - accessing support with finding accessible sports and activities.
If you are a member of the armed forces or a veteran, and are looking for further information on the support available to you, take a look at our Veterans’ Resettlement Hub which provides guidance on some of the key questions that arise following injury.
