REQUEST AN ARMED SERVICES INVALIDITY PENSION

Main formalities > Request an armed services invalidity pension

If you are a direct victim, the spouse, a civil partner, an orphan, or ascendant of the victim, you may under certain conditions benefit from compensation in the form of a monthly paid pension and civilian victim of war status.

This compensation is implemented starting only at the time the victim files his/her request with France’s armed services ministry. The pension request can be made even if the victim has been compensated or is in the process of being compensated by the FGTI.

These requests are handled by Department of Armed Forces Pension Branch.
