Help getting around your house

Are you having trouble getting around your house? Our staff can help you access Disabled Facilities Grants and get mobility aids, and can carry out repairs and adaptations on your home.

Help with compensation claims

If you've been injured or are ill because of Service we can help you with claims and appeals to the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme and the War Pension Scheme. If you're unhappy with your award, we can also help you with an appeal.

If you think your injury or illness has been caused by negligence by the Ministry of Defence, we can help with some initial advice.

Short breaks by the sea

The Legion offers beneficiaries and carers four different kinds of break - completely free to those who meet each break's eligibility criteria.

Legacy health issues

The Legion continues to support ex-Service personnel who believe their ill health is linked to their Service. Some of these issues require further research and recognition. Visit our Campaigning pages for further information.

You can also get further information about these issues at the following sites:

National Gulf Veterans & Families Association
British Nuclear Test Veterans Association

Specialist recovery support for serving personnel

The Defence Recovery Capability programme delivers co-ordinated recovery support for currently serving personnel who are wounded, injured or sick.

In conjunction with the Ministry of Defence and other Service charities, we are helping to fund Personnel Recovery Centres (PRCs) and The Royal British Legion Battle Back Centre as part of this programme, to help individuals recover and either return to duty or to reskill and, with support, move successfully into civilian life.
