Benefits and Money Advice Service
Struggling to make ends meet?
If you're a Legion beneficiary and
you're having trouble paying the bills, or you think you could
be entitled to benefits that you're not yet receiving, we might be
able to help.
Meet one of our Benefits and Money Advisers and you'll get
discreet, impartial and non-judgemental advice about how to
maximise your income by claiming the benefits and tax credits
you're entitled to and managing your debts - all completely
confidential and free of charge.
| "The help has improved my quality of life very much. I am now
enjoying a life free from debt and worry." |
Putting money back in your pocket
Since it started in 2007 the service has put £70 million back
into people's pockets - through increases in benefits, writing off
debts and gaining grants - with an average financial gain per
person of around £2,800.
| "Without the help we received from The Royal British Legion we
would not be living in our home now. We're extremely grateful for
the amazing support we received." |
Specialist knowledge
Our advisers know how complex life in the Forces can be,
and how a military life involves unique challenges that can lead to
money problems.
We know about the difficulties caused by moving regularly,
loved ones being away, rejoining civilian life and coping with
post-traumatic stress disorder.
We also know about the specific benefits available to our
beneficiaries, and can advise on areas like War Pensions,
the Armed Forces Compensation
Scheme and disability claims and
tribunals.
