An award by the Army Pensions Board is the only means, other than litigation, by which retired personnel of the Defence Forces are provided with compensation for any injury sustained in service in the Defence Forces. There is no record of the named person at either of the addresses provided, ever having initiated a hearing loss compensation claim against my Department through the courts, nor is there any trace of an application for a hearing loss disability pension from the Army Pensions Board.
