U.K. citizens, generally, are able to access legal aid here, which is free. Also, veterans, certainly if they have a pension appeal process to go through, will have been informed by the SPVA that they are able to receive assistance, legal and other, from the Royal British Legion, which I know provides that sort of assistance to individuals. That part is not statutory. It's part of the service charity function and the Royal British Legion continues to do that. They would help represent that individual in appeal cases.
