answer text

The UK Government has no current means to identify UK veterans who are resident in Northern Ireland. Due to the sensitivities of the legacy of Northern Ireland’s past, many who served and now reside there do not feel safe disclosing their veteran status, and the question was not included in the 2021 Census in Northern Ireland as it was in England and Wales. The Office for Veterans’ Affairs is working with the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency on alternative solutions.
