question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions on having the benefits system for current and former service personnel administered by his Department.
tabling member constituency	Crawley
tabling member printed	Henry Smith
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
