Can the Legion help you?
Financial advice and assistance
Are you struggling to pay your debts?
Debt can overwhelm anyone, and it puts untold pressure on individuals and households. If your debts are mounting up and you're worried about how to pay them, the Legion's Benefits and Money Advice service can help.
Our advisers offer free, impartial and confidential advice that will help you to manage and in some cases even get the debt written off.
It has helped me and my husband to look forward to the future debt free.
Need help to claim state benefits including disability benefits?
The benefits and tax credits system is complicated and bewildering - you might be entitled to more than you're getting.
We don't want you to miss out, so our Benefits and Money Advice service will guide you through the confusing rules and application forms and out the other side - hopefully better off.
My rent and council tax all got sorted out which was one of my biggest worries and I got put onto the right benefits.
Need help with a sudden expense or with purchasing mobility aids?
Unexpected and last-minute costs like funeral expenses, emergency food shortages or the need for a mobility scooter, stair lift or home adaptation can be impossible to meet without help.
We understand this and our Immediate Needs Grants Scheme can help you through the crises as well as help you stay in your home and remain independent for longer.
Helped with a tribunal and helped financially, also provided me with an electric wheelchair - fantastic.
