The application deadline for the financial recognition measures closes on 12 December. [^3]

The government is issuing a final call for eligible veterans to apply for financial recognition at the GOV.UK portal labeled 'affected-by-the-ban'. [^4]

The government's restorative measures were introduced following an independent review on the impact of the ban on LGBT personnel serving in the UK Armed Forces between 1967 and 2000. [^5]

Intake has increased steadily while outflow has continued to decline since late 2023, helping drive a net gain of 1,460 personnel in the year to 30 June 2026. [^6]

Regular strength increased across all three services over the past year, with the Royal Navy and Royal Marines up 440, the Army up 170, and the RAF up 840. [^7]
