Not an RSC member?

The Fund offers advice and support on issues such as housing, debt advice, state benefits, disability and heath issues to spouses, children and other dependents of:

• RSC members who have been in membership for at least three consecutive years
• RSC members [and predecessor bodies up to the amalgamation in 1980] who have passed away while in membership, irrespective of length
• Former members who have resigned in good standing [ie have informed the RSC of leaving rather then allowing the membership to lapse] after completing 10 years in membership 

The Fund recognises partners in long-term same and mixed sex relationships as eligible dependants.

The Fund also offers financial support to spouses, children and other dependents. For more information on how to apply and to download an application form please see the web page on how to apply.

Who is defined as a dependant?

• directly domiciled regular dependants [ie first generation]
• close relations: brother and sister but not cousin.

Other situations are considered on a case by case basis.
