Disability Claims & Tribunals

The Legion's Disability Team is able to assist anyone who meets the Legion's eligibility criteria (serving, ex-Service personnel as well as their dependents etc) and is suffering with illness or injury and needs to claim Statutory Disablement Benefits. You do not necessarily need to have been injured in service.  Whether the disability is physical or psychological, we can help in accessing and maintaining benefits.

We are dedicated to helping serving and ex-Service people and their dependants, of all ages, with advice and assistance on disability issues. With our in-depth specialist knowledge and well established contacts with other agencies within the disability field, our team has invaluable experience. Advice and guidance is offered from initial Disability Benefit application completion through to Appeal Hearing Tribunals and onto the Commissioner's office if necessary.

Tribunal Representation

The Disability Officer can provide client representation at Appeal Tribunal Hearings in respect of Disability Benefits. This representation should not be confused with the service provided by the War Pensions Team at War Pensions Appeal Tribunal Hearings.

Individuals, Legion County Offices and other agencies can approach the Disability Team.
