Fast Payment Application

The time limit for making an application for a fast payment is 6 months beginning with the day on which the injury occurs.

Payments under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS)

For serving personnel, payment will be made via Joint Personnel Administration (JPA) into the same account as your salary.

If you signed the UKSF Confidentiality Contract you must apply for Express Prior Authority from your unit Adjutant before putting in any claim which may disclose details of your service with UKSF. If you need more help completing the form our Welfare Service or Helpline advisors can help.

Part IV: Declaration
  • • I confirm that the information I have given is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

  • • I understand that any decision on a fast payment does not prevent me from making a full claim under AFCS but I must complete an AFCS claim form within the statutory time limits.

  • • If I am awarded a fast payment the amount I receive will be taken into account when my full claim is assessed and any compensation awarded.

  • • If I knowingly give false information, I may be liable to prosecution. Please remember you must sign this form yourself if you can – even if someone else has filled it in for you.

  • • If a representative who acts as power of attorney or appointee for the claimant is signing this form, they must enclose evidence to show that they are the legal representative.
