Many of you have been telling us that the increase in the cost of living has been having a significant impact on the Armed Forces Community and we have seen a very large uptake in applications in the short time the Everyday Needs Grant has been live.
While the Royal British Legion are processing this initial volume of applications it is unlikely they will be able to respond to your application in our targeted 5-day timeframe. However, please be assured you will get a response from them. Based on the volume of requests they are estimating it may take up to three weeks.
If you are currently facing a very urgent need, for example you have no access to food or accommodation at this very moment, please call the RBL contact centre on 0808 802 8080. If your application is not related to one of these needs, we apologise for the delay in responding to your application and appreciate your patience.
