Finding a home, a new job and many other aspects of civilian life can seem like difficult mountains to climb for even the toughest of ex-servicemen and women.

DGHP’s new policy gives Armed Forces personnel a direct and priority route to housing, so that covers finding a home. But what about everything else?

Help is at hand, we have compiled this information about everything from registering to vote to getting help finding furniture. This information should help make settling in a little easier.
