Are you entitled to an award for your injuries

Legion Scotland offers a free service to veterans and those currently serving in the armed forces.

We can keep you right about claiming under the correct scheme and if you feel that your condition is getting worse then we can help you claim for an increase if your conditions have worsened.

If you are unhappy with a decision on your claim we can help you make an appeal and assist you with representation at tribunal so that your voice can be heard.

We handle a wide variety of cases from the War Disablement Pension Scheme to the Armed forces Compensation Scheme including:

• War Widows Pensions
• Supplementary Allowances
• Worsening of an already accepted condition
• Further condition claims

At Legion Scotland we believe that every veteran who is injured should receive the best advice and guidance that can be offered. Our experienced staff are there to help if you have suffered an injury or a medical condition that has arisen and can be directly linked to your service whether it be a physical or a psychological problem.
