Claims Advice
Advice and assistance with claims for Holocaust era compensation and the restitution of appropriated assets
The AJR offers advice and assistance with claims for Holocaust era compensation and the restitution of appropriated assets.
As well as guidance on enquiries about pensions help is available with applications for lump sum reparations, including from the Claims Conference. The AJR works closely with the UK Envoy for Post Holocaust Issues to raise awareness of outstanding restitution and compensation matters.
We are proud that alongside delivering guidance and advice, we have worked to ensure that certain compensation awards are exempt from income, capital gains and inheritance taxes and that lump sum compensations are disregarded when calculating entitlement to social security benefits.
We have also developed guidelines on the refunding of bank charges applied to the remittance of Holocaust-era reparations and pensions.
Although the deadlines for many reparation schemes have expired it is still possible to apply to certain programmes. Please note that no responsibility can be taken for rejected or unsuccessful claims.
“I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for enabling us to give Dad the best care possible while he was ill. It gives us great comfort knowing we were able to keep him at home right up until the end and we were able to do that because of your help, so thank you all so so much.”
