WPWS is part of the Veterans Agency and gives
comprehensive advice and support to all War Pensioners and
War Widow(er)s living in the UK and the Irish Republic,
regardless of whether their query is about a War
Disablement/ Widow(er)s' Pension. They also give help and
advice to anybody who thinks they may be able to claim a
pension.
The service is delivered via a network of welfare offices,
each of which has responsibility for a particular
geographical area. Visits can be arranged at a pensioner's
home or at a mutually convenient location.
The WPWS works in close partnership with ex-Service
organisations, War Pensions Committees and other voluntary
groups or statutory bodies such as social services
departments in delivering welfare support. They can provide
a wide range of advice and outlined below are a few examples
of the kind of help the WPWS can provide:
