<p>Phase one of the Veterans' Recognition Scheme is complete, with Service leavers
receiving a HM Armed Forces Veterans' Recognition Card as part of the discharge process;
since December 2018, over 56,000 such Cards have been issued to Service leavers. Phase
two will extend the scheme to existing veterans so they can more quickly, easily,
and securely prove they served in the UK Armed Forces.</p><p>As announced during Armed
Forces week, more than £1 million in new money is being invested into a new digital
service for veterans. This will make it easier and quicker to demonstrate military
service in order to access a range of Government and charity services and will in
turn help ensure that Recognition Cards are given only to those with verified service.
The Government remains committed to delivering Veterans' Recognition Cards and will
advise of a timescale for final delivery when this work is complete.</p>
