Forty-three-year-old Dexter saw service in Kuwait.
"I suffered a very serious physical injury in early 1991. Although the physical scars have healed, I am now living with schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress disorder. I was very reluctant to visit the Department for Work and Pensions as I did not think I would be entitled to any help and I get very nervous and agitated".
In the case of Dexter, he was put in touch with Housing Benefit Helpline, who was able to assist him through the claims process.
It is with some relief that I am now entitled War Disablement Allowance at a weekly rate of £154.70.
"These extra payments allow me a better quality of life and I am now involved in fund-raising activities with my local community".
This case study is fictitious, but helps to illustrate just some of the many ways in which Housing Benefit Helpline can help change peoples lives for the better.

Many people who could claim War Disablement Pension often do not do so.
So why does not everyone claim War Disablement Pension?
Some of the reasons many people do not claim War Disablement Pension are as follows:
You may have been in contact with a health professional. That particular person’s speciality is treating physical and mental conditions. As such, they might not be in the best position to consider your entitlement to War Disablement Pension
A lack of awareness about benefits to which they may be entitled or how to claim them
Claim forms can be lengthy and complicated. This can lead to a form being completed incorrectly or, in the worst case, not at all. This could be a particular problem if you are unable to concentrate for long periods
Staff at the DWP (previously known as DHSS/DSS) might have limited understanding about how you (or someone you know) are actually feeling
A health condition can make it impractical and/or uncomfortable. It can even stop a person from making a claim for War Disablement Pension. For example, a course of treatment can sometimes leave a claimant not in the best frame of mind to be completing a claim form adequately
In the past, certain conditions were not accepted for the purpose of War Disablement Pension. However, this situation has now changed so you should now claim again.

What if I have been refused War Disablement Pension?
Due to the inefficiencies of certain "officials" it has been known for refusals to be over-turned when the claim has been re-presented in a professional and methodical manner (i.e. by a professional company or consultant).
Many times, the refusal decision is based on an incorrect presentation of certain information by the claimant or by an incorrect assessment from the particular benefits office/r in question.
We have found 40% or more of "refused claims" have a very good chance of being overturned.
Needless to say, this issue is very important.
Full claim acceptance not only over-turns a previous refusal, but it also means you will probably be eligible for back-payments from the point of an initial claim.
This alone could often lead to thousands of pounds in back-payments due to you.
