Ministry of Defence Accommodation Claim

If you are a Claimant you need to check your email (including junk or speam folders) and we recommend that you accept the settlement offer in your inbox.

We need 98% of our client group to accept the settlement offer in order to receive a payment from MOD to distribute to you and your colleagues.

If you think you should have had an email from us but have not please email us providing your full name and service number at: modclaims@leighday.co.uk

The amount offered in settlement is dependent upon your age, marital, status, branch and responsiveness. The stronger the claim was assessed to be the greater the amount of compensation.

1. The lowest amount of compensation is for those who failed to respond to our recent questionnaire

2. The unmarried under 37 group will receive slightly more but the claims are considered to be difficult dual-discrimination claims

3. Unmarried over 37 and RFA/Royal Navy receive more than unmarried under 37

4. Married under 37 receive the highest amount of compensation

The amount of compensation is not linked to time spent in Single Living Accommodation.

Under the terms of the Damages Based Agreement (no win no fee arrangement) we will deduct an amount of 35% (inc. VAT) from the compensation amount offered to you.

Once you have accepted the offer you should receive a confirmation from us. As we have said we need 98% of our client group to accept the offer in order to obtain the compensation. We will keep you updated on our progress.

Once we have achieved 98% acceptance of the offer we will contact you to make arrangements for transferring the money to you. This may involve some checks of your identity and provision of your bank account details via a secure system.

Your agreement with us states that we must always act in your best interests in pursuing your claim for compensation and the best result reasonably obtainable, subject to our duty to the Tribunal. We must also give you our best advice about whether to accept any offer of settlement. The agreement also states that you must not ask us to work in an unreasonable way, which includes rejecting our advice about reaching a settlement.

As we have said above, we consider that the offer is the best we could reasonably hope to achieve, and we recommend that you accept it.

It is your choice whether or not you accept the offer. However, if you choose not to accept the offer, unfortunately we will not be able to continue representing you. You will also be required to pay a share of our legal fees (likely to be in the region of £500).

We will send you further information about this if you tell us you are considering not accepting the offer.

As a result of the ongoing settlement process we are no longer bringing new claims.
