Home Help—Veterans' Independence Programme
Home Help may be able to support you at home with normal household chores.
You may be able to get this if you:
- have Qualifying Service, and
- are assessed as needing it to stay independent in your home.
The maximum amount of help for household chores is 2 hours a week. This support may be increased in exceptional circumstances.
Household chores may include:
- Cleaning kitchen surfaces
- bathroom and toilet cleaning including ensuite
- mopping floors
- tidying
- vacuuming and dusting
- interior window washing (to a maximum height of two metres, using a small step ladder or chair)
We partner with Paramount Services to deliver home help to you.
This support is provided as part of the Veterans' Independence Programme.
