Getting payments if you are an injured military veteran
Financial support provided by Veterans’ Affairs
If you’re ill or injured and have served with the New Zealand Defence Force, you may be able to get financial support from Veterans’ Affairs.
It depends on when and where you served (qualifying service).
Your family or whānau may be able to get financial support, too.
Visit Veterans’ Affairs website for details.
