MOD Veterans Services: New online form now available for referrals and self-referrals

A new online form is now available, making it easier and quicker to refer to Veterans Services, who provide information, guidance and welfare support to those who have left or are transitioning out of the Armed Forces.

The form offers a simple and secure way for veterans, serving personnel, and those supporting them to request assistance and supporting guidance. It removes the need to download and complete paper or PDF forms, allowing referrals to be submitted directly to the Veterans Services team who will build and manage your case.

Most referrals can be completed in just a few minutes if you have the relevant information to hand. This may include contact details for you or the person being referred, such as a telephone number, address, Service number, National Insurance number, and date of birth. If you have not served, you can still make a referral – just provide the details of the serving person or veteran you are supporting.

To find out more about the new online referral/self-referral process, please go to: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/make-a-referral-to-veterans-services

BRUNEI: New Defence Dads Network

All Services • All Ranks • All Grades • All Locations

Calling all dads, stepdads, single dads, adoptive dads, foster dads, non-custodial dads, granddads, and other male carers.

We are looking at establishing a new pan‑Defence Network for Dads, and we’re seeking expressions of interest from anyone who would like to help join and shape this community.

The proposed DAD Network would aim to:

• Connect Fathers across all of Defence

• Provide peer support for navigating parenthood alongside Service life, deployments, mobility, shift patterns, and other pressures

• Create a safe and supportive space to share experiences, challenges, and good practice

• Champion the voice of Dads in policy conversations and wellbeing initiatives

• Build an inclusive community for biological fathers, adoptive/foster parents, step‑parents, carers, and those supporting fatherhood roles

Whether you’re a new Dad, an experienced parent, or simply passionate about promoting positive fatherhood and family inclusion across Defence, we want to hear from you.

How to express interest

Complete the MS Form HERE and help us shape a network that supports Dads across the Whole Force and strengthens our Defence community.
