The Armed Forces Covenant
If you have problems accessing or receiving care due to being an armed forces family member, the Armed Forces Covenant can help.
The Armed Forces Covenant aims to remove disadvantages so you and your family can receive healthcare fairly. They can support you through several issues, including:
- access to healthcare
- education and family well-being
- having a home
- starting a new career
- financial assistance
- accessing discounted services
The Armed Forces Covenant works with services, charities and organisations to make sure you get the support you need. This includes the Navy, Army and RAF welfare support organisations and information services.
