How
we helped Robert and Sarah…
A call to the Agency notified us of the urgent situation, Robert, a disabled veteran from Gosport, and his partner Sarah had found themselves in.
Homeless through no fault of there own, they were living in a car on a public car park and using nearby conveniences to wash and launder their clothes. Their only income was Robert’s army and war pension. Their situation had become unbearable and they were both at the end of their tether.
We arranged for an Agency welfare manager to meet them that day and advice was given on entitlement to additional benefits and allowances. The local council was contacted and arrangements were made to place them in temporary housing.

Through continued support, and by working in partnership with the council and The Royal British Legion (TRBL), permanent accommodation has since been found, with TRBL providing help with finances, funding for furniture and work on the house.
Robert and Sarah have now been able to make a fresh start. Robert says “ I hit lucky with Veterans Agency and now I’m back on my feet.”
