Armed Forces: Hearing Impairment

Asked by Gavin RobinsonDemocratic Unionist PartyMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 10 February 2026UIN 111124

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, to outline the average turnaround time for resolution in Hearing Loss Cases in each of the four regions of the United Kingdom.

Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones

It is not possible to outline the average turnaround time for the resolution of Hearing Loss claims in each of the four nations of the United Kingdom.

This information is not currently held centrally and can only be provided at disproportionate cost as it would require extensive research across the claims handlers and litigation services providers who manage claims in the various jurisdictions across the UK.
