It is estimated that every year over £3.5 billion of benefits go unclaimed across the country, with three million older people living below the poverty line. Many people are put off claiming either by the complexity of the benefits system, or they assume they cannot claim anything because they have some savings or own their home. Our Veterans Information Adviser and team of trained volunteers can check to see if you are entitled to claim any welfare or disability benefits, and can help you through the claims process from start to finish. If needed we can give you assistance filling in all of the forms. 16–18 Kingston Road Portsmouth United Kingdom PO1 5RZ 02392 883500 Email More info
