The historic treatment of LGBT veterans was a moral stain on our nation. Our government is determined to right the wrongs of the past and recognise the hurt that too many endured.
LGBTQ+ veterans who were ejected from the military due to their sexuality will be able to receive up to £70,000 in compensation from today.
An additional £20,000 can be applied for by those who endured harassment or ill-treatment while serving in addition to being dismissed or discharged.
In August, LGBTQ+ veterans charity, Fighting With Pride, was awarded a grant to help create the UK's first memorial to LGBTQ+ veterans.
