How we helped Marianna from Chester

Marianna is a single mum from York with four young children.  She served in the Royal Army Medical Corps during the first Gulf War in 1991.  Working in a field hospital, she witnessed first hand the injuries suffered by members of the Iraqi forces during the conflict, leaving her with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

 Marianna has been helped for many years by the Veterans Welfare service in Yorkshire.  She says “I first met Helen, my Welfare Manager when I moved to York from Chester a few years ago,  She’s fantastic - she sorted out my war pension and helped me build a support network from the many different Agencies involved.  More women veterans should apply for the help that’s out there”
