Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber decision by Judge Stout on 29 January 2025

Read the full decision in UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-AFCS (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/67c6f261b0bb6528ee866dc1/UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-AFCS.pdf).

Judicial Summary

The First-tier Tribunal erred in law in failing to give adequate reasons for rejecting the appellant’s case that he had been “ordered” to have the dental treatment that had been one of the causes of his myofascial/atypical facial pain. A conclusion that the appellant had not been given an enforceable order to have the treatment would in any event not be sufficient to determine whether the appellant’s consenting to the treatment was ‘caused by service’ or not for the purposes of Article 8 of the Armed Forces and Reserve Forces (Compensation Scheme) Order 2011 (SI 2011/517) (“the AFCS Order”). The assessment of whether or not something is ‘caused by service’ is more nuanced than simply whether the thing that causes the injury is a result of someone following an enforceable order or not. In this case, it required, first, adequate findings of fact to be made about what happened between the appellant and his officer in advance of that appointment. Secondly, taking full account of the guidance in JM v Secretary of State for Defence (AFCS) [2015] UKUT 332 (AAC), [2016] AACR 3, the Tribunal needed to consider whether or not the appellant’s consenting to undergo the treatment in the light of whatever happened between him and his officer was “caused by service”.

The Tribunal also erred in law in perversely concluding that there was “no evidence” that the stress that had contributed to the appellant’s pain was work-related. There was ample evidence in principle as to that causal link. The Tribunal needed to consider that evidence and provide adequate reasons for the conclusions it reached on the issue in the light of the evidence. The Tribunal would need when making that assessment at the remitted hearing to apply the guidance in JM that the AFCS Order provides for a no-fault scheme and there is no “thin skull” exclusionary rule, so that stress may be “caused by service” even if there has been no breach of duty by the forces or the injury is not one that would be suffered by someone of ordinary fortitude.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Child First Welbeck will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Child First Welbeck recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

Statement on behalf of the 14th Tata Steel / Port Talbot Transition Board
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-01)

The fourteenth Tata Steel / Port Talbot Transition Board met on 26th June 2025.

The Secretary of State for Wales, Rt Hon Jo Stevens MP, in her role as Chair of the Transition Board sought endorsement from the Board for the development of an £11.67 million Economic Growth and Investment Fund. £6.67 million will be provided by UK Government and £5 million from Tata Steel UK. This joint funding is aimed to boost inward business investment in the region and to support longer-term growth by supporting businesses and helping to create new jobs. A period of engagement will take place to design the fund over the coming weeks, with the fund going live in the autumn.

Today’s release of money marks the full allocation of the UK Government’s £80 million contribution from the Tata Steel / Port Talbot Transition Board fund. This funding has been delivered in just under a year, clearly demonstrating this Government’s commitment to the community impacted by Tata Steel UK’s transition to greener steelmaking. We are already seeing the positive impact of this investment to those impacted. The Board will continue to monitor the progress of the funds and ensure the right support continues to be administered to the region.

The Board also received updates on:
- Tata Steel UK’s decarbonisation programme;
- The Department of Business and Trade’s plans for a steel strategy;
- Mental health and well-being;
- The Transition Board funds that have already been announced.
Those in attendance included: Rt Hon Jo Stevens MP, Secretary of State for Wales; Rebecca Evans MS, Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy & Planning in the Welsh Government; Alex Norris MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary for MHCLG; Cllr Steven Hunt, Leader of Neath Port Talbot Council; Frances O’Brien, CEO of Neath Port Talbot Council; Rajesh Nair, CEO of Tata Steel UK; Chris Jaques, Chief HR Officer, Tata Steel UK; Stephen Kinnock, MP for Aberafan Maesteg; David Rees, MS for Aberavon; Tom Giffard, MS & Luke Fletcher MS for the region of South Wales West; Anne Jessopp CBE, Sarah Williams-Gardener & Katherine Bennett CBE, independent members of the Board; Alun Davies, National Officer for Steel & Metals, Community Union; Tom Hoyles, Politics, Press and Research Officer, GMB Wales & Jason Bartlett Regional Officer of Unite the Union Wales.
Evaluation of the £2 bus fare cap
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-12)

Final report and associated interim reports on the £2 bus fare cap.

The £2 bus fare cap (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/2-bus-fare-cap) ran from 1 January 2023 until the end of 2024 to help passengers save on their regular travel costs. It was replaced by a new £3 bus fare cap (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/3-national-bus-fare-cap) on single bus fares in England outside London from 1 January 2025 through to 31 December 2025.

The aims of this evaluation are to:
- find out the extent to which the bus fare cap achieves its aims of saving bus passengers money and encouraging greater bus usage
- understand how the fare cap is experienced across the country by bus users and non-users
The January 2023 report includes baseline trends from the period before the £2 bus fare cap scheme was introduced, including trends in bus usage and the cost of bus travel.

Observations from the first month of the £2 bus fare cap scheme include that:
- take-up of the scheme varied by region, rurality, household income and car ownership
- awareness of the scheme was high with national news acting as the main channel for raising awareness
- early evidence suggests a potentially positive impact on patronage and the cost of living
The February 2023 report includes observations from the first 2 months of the £2 fare cap scheme including trends in:
- patronage between early 2022 and early 2023, which appears to continue to recover following the COVID-19 pandemic (early evidence suggests the £2 Bus Fare Cap may be playing a role in this recovery)
- ticket sales, with an increase in the number and proportion of single bus journeys since the scheme started
The January 2025 report presents an evaluation of the impacts of the £2 bus fare cap over its first 10 months (January to October 2023).

Frontier Economics and SYSTRA were commissioned to complete the evaluation on behalf of the Department for Transport.
Electricity transmission infrastructure: proposed bill discount scheme

Government proposals to introduce a new electricity bill discount scheme for communities living nearest to new electricity transmission infrastructure.

The bill discount scheme is a new proposed monetary benefit which aims to ensure that those living closest to new electricity transmission infrastructure across Great Britain can directly benefit from it. This is in recognition of the wider societal benefits of cheaper, more secure and low-carbon energy that this infrastructure brings.

Data on the funds collected by the Compensation Recovery Unit and funds paid to the NHS.

The NHS injury costs recovery scheme aims to recover the cost of NHS treatment where personal injury compensation is paid - for example, after a road traffic accident. The Department of Health and Social Care publishes monthly updates on the amount of money recovered under the injury costs recovery scheme.

The Compensation Recovery Unit recovers funds primarily from insurance companies and then pays them to the NHS hospital or ambulance trust that provided the treatment.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Spectrum For Change Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Spectrum For Change Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:

Promoting the armed forces through our work

Training and support to members of the armed forces community

Ensure outreach for all requiring our specialist skills

Provide bespoke programmes in improving personal resilience, health and well-being

Offer education and certification in our specialism

Provide open and transparent communication to any stakeholders in all aspects of our work.

2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
