Defence People Communications - get financial help if you have children with child benefit

Did you know that parents can claim child benefit to help with the cost of raising children? Find out if you’re eligible and how to make a claim.

With the rising cost of living, the Government are offering parents and carers up to £1,248 a year to help with the cost of raising their first child – and up to £826.80 for any other children. This means that by the time a child is 16 years old, their child benefit claim could be worth almost £20,000.

Defence People Communications - what support is there for Service families facing domestic abuse?

 

Find out about the domestic abuse support available for Service families

As part of the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence campaign, Defence is encouraging anyone affected by domestic abuse to ask for help and to be aware of the different ways to get support.

Armed Forces families play a crucial role in Defence and should feel safe and supported. When it comes to domestic abuse, there are many support services available to them – both within Defence and at a local and national level.

To help more people get the help they need, it’s also important to understand what might be stopping them from seeking support.

There are multiple and very valid reasons as to why domestic abuse victims-survivors can be reluctant to ask for support, particularly in close knit Defence communities. Most victims-survivors live with their abuser, some aren’t aware that they are being abused, and others might fear the repercussions of seeking support. There are also many who don’t know about the support that exists.

Cottesmore: Total Triage - New contact Number for sick parade

To improve access to the sick parade/same day appointments the Med Centre will be running Total Triage from Monday 4 December 2023.

There will be a dedicated telephone number for Total Triage which will be covered from 0800-10.00hrs Monday to Friday.

Patients will also have the option to text in for sick parade/urgent appointments.  They can text in at any time but the texts will only be read between 0800-1000hrs and the appropriate clinician will then call the patient back for triage.

The main telephone number remains the same and will be for routine enquiries.
