Military Personal Injury Disbursement loans
We provide funding for a variety of claims against the Ministry of Defence, including military deafness and cold related injuries. Our Military Personal Injury Disbursement loans can be used to fund the expenses incurred in pursuing a claim such as court fees and expert medical reports and/or the After the Event (ATE) Insurance Policy premium.
How does the funding work?
- The repayment of the loan is secured by an assignment of the Claimant’s ATE Insurance Policy and undertakings given by the solicitor in relation to the proceeds payable under the claim. In the event that a claim is lost or discontinued, the loan is repaid to Affiniti Finance from the insurance policy proceeds
- We charge interest on a simple, not compound, basis and this interest is not payable until the claim is resolved
- The money is drawn down as required by the solicitor running the claim, and paid directly into the law firm’s client account
- The loan, including interest and fees is repayable from damages awarded to the Claimant when the claim is settled
