The Royal Canadian Naval Benevolent Fund
Distress Relief Application Procedures
Applicants will realize that in administering money's provided in the Trust, the Fund is required to verify the circumstances under which applications are made for the relief of distress. Such investigations are made in a confidential manner and usually do not take very much time. It is vitally important to the person making application, and to the Fund, that very full particulars of the applicant's circumstances are made known and must include estimates, proof of service, proof of income and up to date statements from all creditors. The application form itself must be carefully completed and all questions fully answered.
Eligible applicants serving in the Canadian Forces should apply through their Commander or his representative as laid down in local orders. Applications will be forwarded to the appropriate Committee.
All other applications for assistance should be made through the Department of Veterans Affairs, Royal Canadian Legions or Naval Organizations, such as the Royal Canadian Naval Association, Naval Officers Association of Canada, who will forward the application together with all documentation and recommendations to the Fund. |
