DWP – JOBCENTRES HELP FOR ARMED FORCES VETERANS - 13 November 2023

Sir Julian Lewis: May we have specific detail on the help that jobcentres are giving to armed forces veterans, who must live with the consequences of decisions made by Governments?

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Mims Davies): A very pertinent point after the weekend when we paid tribute in our local communities and after what we saw on the Elizabeth Tower. The DWP continues to work to identify universal credit claimants who are members of the armed forces community, with 11 dedicated forces champion leads and over 50 armed forces champions across our jobcentre network working with spouses and partners, too.]
