The Veterans Advisory and Pensions Committees play a central role in promoting the interests and welfare of Veterans and their families. We advise all public bodies on the needs of veterans and their families, and raise awareness of the War Pensions Scheme, Armed Forces Compensation Scheme and the services of the Veterans Welfare Service. Further, we act as a conduit for consultation by Ministers, the Ministry of Defence and VeteransUK. As an independent voice, we support ex-servicemen and women, their widows or widowers and immediate family members; whether service was in the Second World War, Afghanistan or any other conflict. We can provide assistance and guidance with claims and complaints (including War Pension and Armed Forces Compensation Schemes), and can assist in obtaining help from the appropriate ex-service charity or government department. If any readers are in need of our assistance, or they know someone who is, then we would urge them to contact us:
