Benefits And Compensation Available In The UK For British Veterans




Whether you are currently serving in the military or are a veteran, there are many benefits and support schemes available to you and your family. For veterans, it can often feel isolating to leave the military and enter ‘civvy street’. It is a big life change to deal with so it is understandable that many veterans struggle with the transition in one way or another. It is vital to know what support is available and to utilise the backing if and when you feel it will be beneficial to you. The HomeGuides website provides information on the key schemes, grants and organisations that can provide you with assistance in life after the military.

British Transport Police - Text Service

You can text us on 61016 to report non-emergency incidents, similar to the ones you would report to the 101 phone number provided by your local police force.

The text number is monitored 24/7 and, while it is not for reporting emergencies, we will be able to send officers if required.
When to use the text service:

Text 61016 (or call 0800 40 50 40) when you want to contact us about an issue that doesn't require an emergency response. For example, you can text when:
You want to tell about an incident that has already happened
You want to tell us about issues affecting your rail journey or your local station
You have a general police enquiry

If your enquiry concerns buses or roads, you can contact local police anywhere in the country by dialling 101.

Reporting a Sexual Offence
When to call 999:

Always dial 999 when you need an urgent police response such as:
A crime is happening
Someone suspected of a crime is nearby
Someone is injured, being threatened or in danger

Your mobile service provider may issue a small charge to text 61016. The exact cost will depend on your network and tariff.
