Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Jane Kennedy (Labour). It was answered by Lord Beamish (Labour) on Monday, 11 January 2010 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Veteran Support

Question
What arrangements his Department has put in place to assist veterans injured in service to access the services of Jobcentre Plus employment advisers when the veteran is in receipt of a veteran's pension provided by the Veterans Agency; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

The veterans welfare service is available through the Service Personnel and Veterans Agency to all veterans and their families. For those leaving the service as a result of serious injury or illness, locally based welfare managers, working closely with service charities, provide practical advice and assistance and will act as gateways for the services provided by other Government Departments, including Jobcentre Plus and the Benefits Agency.
