How
to Apply

home. If in difficulty the nearest Royal British Legion office
or DSS office will assist.
A
representative of SSAFA - Forces Help will make contact and
will meet the applicant to determine the facts of the application.
A
written report will then be sent to The Regimental Benevolent
Association for consideration.
A
Sub-Committee of The Benevolent Association will consider the
report and determine whether assistance should be given and
in what amount. The SSAFA - Forces Help Branch which investigated
the application will be notified of the determination of the
