The Dinnington and Districts branch has a very active group of
Welfare Officers who are able to provide support and assistance to
ex-service men and women and their dependents over a wide range of
issues. It is what The Royal British Legion is committed to
do. If you need help or you know of someone who needs help or
advice, please contact our Vice President or Secretary whose
details can be found under 'Branch Information'.
These are some of the issues that we can help you with.
We can help you claim a War Disablement Pension or a War
Widow(er) Pension, and can give free representation at War Pensions
appeal tribunal hearings.
We can help you through an inquest and compensation claim
and put you in touch with experts who can provide emotional
support.
If you (or someone you know) are struggling to make ends meet,
we can help you to manage your debts, claim benefits and deal with
unexpected expenses.
We provide a FREE dedicated handyperson service for
those unable to carry out small repairs and minor alterations in
their homes.
If you need a break, visit one of our four Break Centres,
