answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2022 answer text <p>As of 30 June 2022, 51,404 service leavers had received Veterans' Recognition Cards. As announced during Armed Forces week, more than £1 million in new money is being invested into a new digital service for veterans, due to be available for all veterans in 2023, which will make it easier and quicker to demonstrate military service in order to access a range of government and charity services. This, in turn, will 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> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 25/07/2022 14:14:06 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
