What does the Charity Help for Heroes do?
Between 1999 and 2019, almost 40,000 service personnel were medically discharged from the British Armed Forces. For some veterans, the implications of their service only surface across the months and years after it has come to an end.
Many of these individuals will need help to address physical or mental health issues. This is what Help for Heroes do – they provide a range of services, resources and activities to wounded veterans, supporting them to live healthy, secure and purposeful lives.
The charity provides high-quality recovery services and remains responsive to the emerging needs of the wounded and their families. The combination of services and support they offer are all delivered by health professional teams.
Their main aim is to enable wounded veterans recover and get on with their lives. They work with each individual to agree a combination of support that is tailored to their own recovery needs.
What Qualifies You As a Veteran UK?
A UK veteran is defined as anyone who has served for at least one day in Her Majesty’s Armed Forces or Merchant Mariners. Based on Ministry of Defence statistics, around 15,000 people leave the UK Armed Forces every year.
Veterans and their dependents may be able to claim a range of benefits in the UK, such as:
- Universal Credit
- Child Benefit
- Statutory Sick Pay
- Armed Forces Independence Payment
- Personal Independence Payment
- Sure Start Maternity Grant
- Jobseekers Allowance

“Slothmove is really good, I was looking at some thing’s to see how I can move my address over quickly and then I came across this. I was a bit skeptical at first due to it being something online and I thought it was a scam but nope, it was really quick and easy to get it all done and dusted.”
