Mental Health or Psychological Conditions / PTSD

Causes of Mental Health Issues in the Military

Military personnel face unique challenges that can contribute to mental health issues:

• Combat exposure: The horrors of war, witnessing death, injury, or destruction, can cause significant trauma.
• Accidents and injuries: Experiencing serious accidents or injuries, either on the battlefield or during training, can lead to lasting psychological effects.
• Long-term stress: The demands of military life, long deployments, and the threat of danger can create constant stress that eventually leads to mental health issues.
• Inadequate support: Lack of proper mental health support during and after service can exacerbate existing conditions or lead to the development of new issues.

Legal Claims for PTSD and Mental Health Conditions

If you have developed PTSD or any other mental health condition as a result of your military service or work, you may be entitled to compensation. HPA Solicitors UK can help you pursue a claim for:
