SIR – As a prelude to Remembrance Sunday, I wish to remind your readers that organisations such as the Royal British Legion Scotland are here throughout the year to assist veterans who are in need – especially at a time when so many of our servicemen and women are engaged in various conflicts around the world.
In particular, we offer a free war pensions advisory service which helps veterans to claim a pension or gratuity for injuries or medical conditions that have resulted in disablement and which are attributed to or aggravated by participation in their former military service.
Perhaps a little known fact is you do not have to have served in a war to submit a claim.
Neil John Robinson,
pensions, welfare and appeals officer,
