Veterans and their families who are struggling to cope with increased energy bills can get grants of up to £200 a month from a leading military charity.
The Royal British Legion, the UK's largest charity dedicated to supporting the Armed Forces, this week launched a new grant scheme for ex-military families to help with increased costs . The grants of up to £2,400 a year (£200 a month) are available across the UK and don't have to be paid back.
There are around two million UK armed forces veterans, according to the latest figures from the Ministry of Defence. The Royal British Legion hasn't said how many might be able to benefit from the new grants, but the charity told Moneysavingexpert.com that there was no set cut-off and that it wants to help as many members of the Armed Forces community as it can.
