Leaving the Armed Forces

Under the Government's 'Strategy for Our Veterans', housing advice is available from the Defence Transition Service (DTS). The DTS offers briefings to help inform and guide service personnel and their families about the civilian housing choices available to them and the need to plan ahead for leaving the armed forces. Briefings are open to all service personnel and their families at any stage of their service career. The briefings are designed to give you the information to help you make informed choices on your civilian housing and cover the following areas:

• house purchase (including Forces Help to Buy), private rental
• independent financial advice (provided by the Service Insurance and Investment Advisory Panel members), social housing
• affordable home ownership schemes
