Veterans Welfare Group: Expertise and Connection
Lived experience that informs guidance
At Military Injury, we often cross paths with incredible groups who share our mission of supporting veterans. One that we’re especially proud to have a relationship with is the Veterans Welfare Group (VWG). At its heart, VWG is veteran-led and this is evident in the outstanding guidance and support they provide veterans. We want to take a moment to shine a light on the fantastic work they do.
Practical, expert support
Leaving the Armed Forces doesn’t mean leaving support behind, and you don't need to have served in combat to be recognised as a veteran. If you’ve spent any amount of time in the British Armed Forces – full-time or as a reservist – you may be entitled to various forms of support.
This is where Veterans Welfare Group comes in. Its team doesn't just offer guidance – they deeply understand what you're going through, drawing from personal, lived experience. It's this empathy that forms the foundation of the support they provide.
VWG’s in-house support and signposting team bring years of experience across critical areas:
- Financial guidance – navigating benefits, pensions, and financial planning
- Legal support – connecting to specialist claims management companies for AFCS and WPS claims (that's us!), and solicitors for civil claims
- Medical and emotional care – understanding complex injury and transition challenges
Whether you're making a claim, need legal advice, or seek the right support group, they listen first, then guide you to the most capable professionals
Helping transition from service to civilian life
The journey from a medical discharge into civilian life is one VWG specialises in. Their depth of understanding helps veterans access advice on a spectrum of topics, including pensions, entitlements and transferable skills.
