How does the MOD fund Combat Stress?
The MOD provides funding under the War Pensions Scheme for war pensioners who receive treatment related to their accepted disablements at the Combat Stress homes. MOD is committed to helping Combat Stress in working towards the new mental health arrangements by increasing fees paid under the War Pensions Scheme to reflect full costs of providing treatment and improvements to it. This amounted to some £2.5M for 2006/2007.
