Universal Support: Veterans

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what progress his Department has made on developing the Universal Support programme as it relates to veterans.

Answer

Universal Support is a new, voluntary employment programme for disabled people, those with health conditions and those with additional barriers to employment, and this will include veterans.  The programme will offer veterans up to 12 months of ‘place and train’ support from a dedicated keyworker – helping them to find a suitable role and providing tailored support for the participant and their employer to help sustain that work.
