Allied Veterans
The Royal Canadian Legion national office coordinates all applications originating in Canada to the Royal Commonwealth Ex-Services League in the United Kingdom on behalf of allied Veterans and widows.
Grants
There are grants that help to provide for food, clothing, medical or dental treatment, mobility devices, and minor home repair. The funds are generally reserved for Veterans and their spouses who suffer misfortune, encounter an emergency or are seriously disadvantaged.
There is also the Regular Financial Assistance Award or Regular Charitable Payment. If you are having difficulty meeting day-to-day living costs on an ongoing basis, you could be considered for this award. To obtain an application or additional information, please contact Dominion Command.
