answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2024 answer text <p>No estimate has been made of the number of Universal Credit claimants who are veterans, but who do not declare their veteran status. UC claimants are asked about their armed forces status when declaring or reporting changes in their work and earnings and UC agents are also able to record claimants’ Armed Forces status if they are told about this via other means such as journal messages, face-to-face meetings or by telephone.</p><p> </p><p>This Government believes it is important to identify veterans and serving personnel, so we can ensure they can get all the help and support they need. For more information, I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to PQ<a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2023-11-22/3093" target="_blank">3093</a>, where the Department explained the current progress in identifying such claimants.</p><p> </p><p>No assessment has been made of reasons for any increase, the number of UC claimants recorded as previously served or currently serving has been stable since June 2023.</p><p> </p><p>Serving armed forces personnel claiming Universal Credit will be no different to other UC claimants.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies grouped question UIN 17032 17033 question first answered 12/03/2024 11:22:02 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 19 February 2024 to Question 13494 on Civil Servants: Veterans, if he will make an assessment of the impact of the Service Leavers’ Adjustment Passport on veterans’ employment outcomes.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2024 answer text <p>The Service Leavers Adjustments Passport is a voluntary tool to support Armed Forces Service Leavers with the transition into Civilian Employment. It is also available to anyone who has served to access at any time in the future. We have no plans to track employment outcomes specifically as part of the Service Leavers Adjustments Passport as there are numerous factors that influence veteran employment outcomes and it would be difficult to effectively isolate the impact of a single measure.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 12/03/2024 11:34:16 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
