RSA Welfare Services
Local RSAs provide welfare services designed to assist ex-servicemen and
women in need, whether or not they are members of a Returned Services’
Association.
Each RSA appoints a Welfare Officer to co-ordinate these services and to give
advice on the various community services available to ex-service personnel and
their families.
RSA assistance ranges from monetary grants for those in financial difficulty,
to help with practical tasks, visiting the sick, meals-on-wheels, and offering
friendship and support in times of need.
War Pensions and Allowances
War veterans and ex-servicemen and women may be entitled to a war pension and
a range of allowances from the New Zealand Government.
The various war pensions and allowances are listed with contact details for
the War Pensions Processing Unit.
Assistance with making applications is available to members and non-members
of RSA through the Pensions or Welfare Officers located at each
local RSA. RNZRSA
Senior Advisory
Officer is also able to assist.
