Disability Benefit Appeals Support for Armed Forces

We can help anyone in the Armed Forces community appeal any state disability benefits they may be entitled to. Whether your illness or injury was as a result of service or not, or if you have a physical or psychological problem we can help you.

Our expert advisers have excellent knowledge of the benefits system, and we can guide you from your benefit decision all the way through to taking further action if you need to dispute anything.

We can help you apply for benefits including:

Personal Independence Payment Universal Credit Attendance Allowance Employment and Support Allowance Get help with disability benefits Call our contact centre on 0808 802 8080 or email info@britishlegion.org.uk. Need help with existing benefits? We can also help you if you have been told that you will lose your existing benefits. We can help you to request a second look at your claim and advise you how to claim everything you're entitled to. If things don't go your way, we can also represent you at a tribunal hearing.

Want to dispute a decision? If you're unhappy about the outcome of your benefits claim you can appeal the decision at a tribunal and try to get it changed.

Hearings can be confusing and difficult, and it is very important that you don't miss out any relevant information.

Your appeal is much more likely to be successful if you have representation at the tribunal, so we don't just help you with guidance and advice – we can also represent you.

For over 100 years, the Royal British Legion has been fighting on behalf of our Armed Forces community. We believe that no-one who has served to protect our freedom should be disadvantaged because of the sacrifices they have made. The men and women of the Armed Forces play an extraordinary role in protecting our country, as well as providing support to other nations through peace keeping, conservation and humanitarian work.

We provide lifelong support to serving and ex-serving personnel and their families.Our support starts after one day of service and continues through life, long after service is over. From providing expert advice and guidance, to recovery and rehabilitation, through to transitioning to civilian life – we are by their side of veterans and their families every step of the way. 

We campaign and advocate for the rights and fair treatment of all those who have served and their families - and through our championing of Remembrance, ensure that their service and sacrifice are never forgotten.
