02. What financial help can I get?

As a veteran, you can get two basic types of pension:

  • a war disablement pension, which you can receive if you were injured or disabled when serving in the armed forces; and
  • a service pension, which is a work-related pension, and depends on how much time you served in the armed forces and at which rank.
War disablement pensions are explained below. For more about service pensions, see 'Who can receive a service pension?' below. For more information about claiming other benefits see the Community Legal Service Direct Leaflet 'Welfare Benefits'.
