If you're a British Legion member talk to your branch health rep or similar Bob. They'll usually sort it for you, but be aware the MOD will do its damndest to say it's just age related degeneration. There should be a record of your hearing test when you joined and left the army which would show any hearing loss registered at the time though. Whenever I went to see about my war pension with a RBL rep they told me they would up my pension only if I signed my hearing loss away, which I did but asked them why. They claimed I only had 16% hearing loss which didn't meet their threshold, so I asked what system of measurement they used as when I joined I was H1 in both ears and on leaving I was H4 in my left and H3 in my right, which as the system only goes from 1 to 4 by my understanding it meant 75% loss in one ear and nearly 100% in the other. They refused to tell me their system but upped my pension from 30% to 40% so I was happy enough, but was later told I shouldn't have signed to say I would never claim! The average one off payment is about 8 grand, so worth looking at for anyone who served when the little pink ear plugs were on issue, and some young Maureen recently got hundreds of thousands after being 'forced' to engage in a live firing exercise with 'inadequate' protection!
