War Pension assessment: apply for a review
Information and guidance on how to apply for a review of a War Pension assessment.
Overview
If you have a War Pension but your condition changes, you can ask us to review the assessment of your condition(s) at any time. You may wish to supply additional information with the claim form to support your reported change in condition. We cannot consider any deterioration in your condition which is purely due to age.
If you ask for a review and the amount of pension is increased, we will normally only pay the new amount from the the date we received your request for a review.
