The government has confirmed veteran payouts of up to £70,000 for those affected by the ban on LGBT personnel between 1967 and 2000.
Following a Commons debate in mid-December, ministers agreed to double the total available cash pot to £75m with those who were discharged receiving the highest awards.
Former personnel who lost their careers as a result of the disqualification will also be able to apply to have their rank restored and reason for their dismissal amended.
