There are many reasons why people get into debt. For example,
they never had to manage their own finances, too many bills,
not enough money, too many outgoings without realising it, etc.
We work on two levels to help you overcome debt:
1) We try to maximise your income through a detailed benefits
search to make sure you are receiving all you are entitled
to. Once a month, SPVA
(Service Personnel and Veterans' Agency) is on site to help you
through the wide range of military and state benefits that you
might be able to claim.
2) We advise that you seek debt reduction and debt management
advice from the Citizens Advice
Bureau. They come to the Veterans First Point Centre twice
a month, so call for a private consultation and personal debt
recovery planning session.
A further specialist debt advice service is available to
veterans who live in West Lothian through The Advice
Shop. If you say you are a veteran, you can obtain a
fixed appointment time with a named worker.
Don't just worry about it - come in and start tackling it!
