AM – Royal Engineer Veteran
AM came to the Veterans Contact Point (VCP) in 2024 with concerns about his and mental physical health. He served with in the Corps Of Royal Engineers. After we completed a Verification of Service (VOS) which is standard practice for any military charity, AM was referred to OP COURAGE for help with his Mental Health where he was recommended for an NHS Psychological assessment in early March 2025 for an official diagnosis PTSD.
The VCP continues to support AM with issues in regards to benefit and other support. We are providing him with our unique Peer Support to enable and to support him to better navigate the complexities of life.
The VCP and AM are also working with Veterans UK in assisting him to investigate any potential for compensation for injuries that he sustained during his military service. It is hoped that with continued support from his Peer Support Worker that AM will feel confident enough to approach other military/veteran interventions such as OP RESTORE for help with is physical ailments. OP RESTORE can be referred to by any GP.
AM continues to work with and receive 1-2-1 support from his VCP Peer Support Worker.
