Is there a waiting list for Chelsea Pensioners rooms?

According to the Royal Hospital Chelsea, the application process for becoming a Chelsea Pensioner includes several stages, and due to high demand and ongoing accommodation refurbishment, the waiting list for rooms may be longer than usual. This confirms that a waiting list does exist for prospective residents of this prestigious veteran community. The competition for one of the approximately 300 places for British Army veterans is understandable, given the quality of life and accommodation provided.
