UK plans January 2022 launch of a £50M financial redress scheme for LGBT veterans affected by "gay ban".

The UK government plans to launch a financial redress scheme in January 2022 for veterans affected by the "gay ban," which led to dismissals and mistreatment of LGBT service members before 2000. An independent review suggested a £50 million compensation cap, averaging £12,500 per veteran. Critics, including major charities, argue this amount is insufficient and call for increased funding to ensure fair compensation for approximately 4,000 eligible veterans.
