Veterans Assist Scotland

Welcome to Veterans-Assist Scotland

We recognise that for many Veterans and their families, some aspects of life after leaving the Services can be challenging. With numerous Veterans’ organisations in Scotland, we understand that it can be frustrating to find just the right person to help with a problem. And we know that whether you have been “in” for 3 years or 30 years, or “out” for 6 weeks or 6 years, problems will arise that could use some help.

Our website has been set up to put in one place most of the resources you might need, whether it is finding the right school or college for you or your kids; options for somewhere to live; getting access to a War Disablement pension; or finding a route into employment. You will find some topics duplicated under more than one heading; this is for ease of access and to make it more likely that you will find what you need.

We signpost and connect the Veterans’ Community including their families, with the organisations and services best placed to help with the information, advice and support they need from across Scotland. This includes information on the various Armed Forces and Veterans Champions to information on healthcare, housing, employability, finances and much more.
