answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2018 answer text <p>The Department for Work and Pensions has not commissioned any such research. The Department’s published Household Below Average Income National Statistics shows that work continues to offer people the best opportunity to get out of poverty and become self-reliant; adults of working age living in working families are 4 times less likely to be in relative poverty than those living in workless households.</p><p>The National Statistics also provide a good understanding of those in in-work poverty and show that the majority (around three-quarters) are those with part-time work only, single earner couples, or those in full-time self-employment. Universal Credit is designed to help by promoting full-time work, employment for partners where possible, and smoother incentives to increase hours. Claimants who are self-employed will have access to mentors to improve their businesses so that they can increase their earnings.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 23/07/2018 13:39:50 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2018 answer text <p>Veterans on average have very similar mental health needs to the general population. Most services used by veterans are provided by mainstream NHS services, often without their veteran status being disclosed. However, additional bespoke services have been provided in England to meet service related needs.</p><p> </p><p>In 2017 NHS England launched the Veterans Mental Health Transition, Intervention and Liaison Service (TILs) which increases access and treatment to appropriate and timely mental health services for both armed forces serving personnel approaching discharge and veterans with mental health difficulties.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England also launched the Veterans Mental Health Complex Treatment Service in April 2018, which builds on the launch of TILs and provides an enhanced service for veterans who have military-attributable complex mental health problems that have not been resolved earlier in the care/support pathway.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 25/07/2018 10:31:30 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
