Claims Advice
Advice and assistance with claims for Holocaust era compensation and the restitution of appropriated assets
As well as guidance on enquiries about pensions, property and insurance policies, help is available with applications for lump sum reparations paid by individual governments or commissions.
The AJR works closely with the UK Envoy for Post Holocaust Issues, Sir Eric Pickles, to raise awareness of outstanding restitution and compensation matters.
We are proud that alongside delivering guidance and advice, we have worked with the British government 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 also worked closely with the British Bankers Association, which has 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.
