Your Service Didn’t Stop at Discharge – Neither Should Your Support

July 04, 20252 min read

You may have taken the uniform off, but that doesn’t mean your service – or your needs – ended the day you were discharged. 

At Justice4Heroes, we believe that the support owed to veterans should last far beyond your time in the Forces. You looked after others. Now it’s time someone looks after you. 

And yet, for many ex-service personnel, the years after leaving can bring unexpected challenges. Two of the most common issues we see? 
🔹 Pensions that were mishandled or mis-sold. 
🔹 Hearing damage caused by years of unprotected noise exposure.

“I Just Got on with It” – Sound Familiar? 

Veterans are used to pushing through. To cracking on. To looking after others while putting their own needs to the side. But over time, that catches up. 

You might have ignored the buzzing in your ears, or the awkwardness of asking people to repeat themselves. You might have felt uneasy about your pension transfer but figured there wasn’t much you could do about it. 

But here’s the truth: there is something you can do.

You Have Rights – And We’re Here to Help You Use Them 

If you were advised to move your Armed Forces pension into a private scheme without being clearly told what you were giving up – you may have a case for mis-selling. 

If your hearing has deteriorated due to your time in service – from working around vehicles, gunfire, aircraft, or heavy equipment – it may not be “just ageing.” It could be a valid claim for Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). 

You don’t need to figure this out on your own. That’s what we’re here for.

Support Without Judgement 

Our role is simple: to listen, guide, and connect you with trusted legal partners who genuinely understand the needs of veterans. 

There’s no pressure. No upfront costs. Just honest advice, clear next steps, and someone in your corner.

It’s Not About Complaining – It’s About Being Heard 

Whether you served in the Navy, Army, RAF or Reserves, you were part of something bigger. And when systems or circumstances failed you, that deserves to be put right. 

Support doesn’t end at discharge. And neither should your sense of justice.
