There are few extant studies in New Zealand that have investigated the lives of Second World War veterans who lived with war neurosis, and even less attention has been paid to how their families shared in this experience. Using the welfare claims files of the Dunedin Branch of the New Zealand Returned Services' Association (NZRSA) this article demonstrates the physical strain caused by care work, but also the emotional toll placed upon families due to financial hardship because of veteran unemployment, or from placement into treatment. Reflecting the fact that psychological illnesses are lifelong, the welfare claim files bring to light the lengthy and continuing support the NZRSA provided servicemen, and the essential role the association played in assisting these men and their families to navigate the government rehabilitation system.
