answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2020 answer text <p>As part of the ten-year vision articulated in the <em>Strategy for our Veterans</em>, the Ministry of Defence introduced a 'Defence Holistic Transition' policy in October 2019. 'Defence Transition Services' (DTS) was established at the same time, to support those Service leavers who face the greatest challenges to making a successful transition to civilian life. The full-spectrum service is available to all Service leavers exiting the Armed Forces and is based on the needs of the individual, providing the specific support they may need and interventions to ensure issues are resolved. This support extends for two years after discharge and longer if necessary.</p><p>All Regular Service personnel leaving the Armed Forces are provided with employment support and training delivered through the Career Transition Partnership (CTP). Service personnel leaving the Regular Armed Forces are entitled to access CTP resettlement services two years prior to their discharge date and for two years post-discharge.</p> answering member constituency Plymouth, Moor View answering member printed Johnny Mercer question first answered 10/02/2020 15:29:49 answering member 4485 label Biography information for Johnny Mercer

uin	10355
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2020 answer text <p>No such discussions have taken place. In 2000, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) took on the administration of the War Pension Scheme from the Department for Work and Pensions as a discrete Scheme with benefit recipients who were already confirmed as veterans or widow/ers. However, the MOD is not resourced to take on the administration of the entire benefits system for all Service personnel and veterans and I have seen no evidence to suggest that such a change is required. In addition, there would be very significant logistical and administrative barriers to overcome, were such a change to be effected; MOD officials advise that over four million veterans records would have to be digitised to create a definitive database of all veterans.</p> answering member constituency Plymouth, Moor View answering member printed Johnny Mercer question first answered 06/02/2020 12:45:09 answering member 4485 label Biography information for Johnny Mercer
