For over 80 years it has been the only organisation specialising in the care of men and women of all ranks discharged from the Armed Services and the Merchant Navy who suffer from injury to the mind.
The Society has a regional network of welfare officers throughout the United Kingdom who visit patients at home or in hospital, and who assist with the presentation of claims and appeals for War Disablement Pensions. The Society also has three short-stay treatment and respite care homes. Limited financial assistance is available. Information pack on request.
