Royal Observer Corps Benevolent Fund The Royal Observer Corps Benevolent Fund is a national charity that provides assistance to former members of the Royal Observer Corps and their dependants who are in need, hardship or distress. The ROC stood down from its duties in 1995 after 70 proud years serving in war and peacetime. Many thousands of men and women - more than 200,000, in fact - gave valuable service over that time. It is estimated that there are still some 60,000 former members eligible to call on the Fund. Their dependants may also be eligible for assistance. |

National Archives A common theme of Gulf veterans' complaints to MOD is that they, their medical and legal advisers, the War Pensions Agency and others who may have a legitimate reason for access, are experiencing difficulties in obtaining their medical records. The aim of this publication is to provide a simple explanation of the relevant parts of the Service medical documentation system, to describe how it was used during Gulf deployment of 1990-1991, to explain the generic reasons why a record may no longer exist and to provide points of contact which veterans can use in seeking to obtain their medical records. It should be clearly understood that this paper refers to Service medical records. The medical records of dependants belong to the National Health Service and the MOD has no right of access to them except on the basis of MOD employed doctors (Service or civilian) providing medical services. |
