<p>The Department does not record the number of veterans who reside in each local
authority.</p><p> </p><p>An estimated distribution of the UK Armed Forces veteran
population residing in Great Britain can be found in the 'Annual Population Survey:
UK Armed Forces Veterans Residing in Great Britain', the latest edition of which (2017)
is published at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/annual-population-survey-uk-armed-forces-veterans-residing-in-great-britain"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/annual-population-survey-uk-armed-forces-veterans-residing-in-great-britain</a>.
As at 2017, there were an estimated 2.4 million UK Armed Forces veterans residing
in households across Great Britain.</p><p> </p><p>The sample size of the Annual Population
Survey is statistically too small to produce veteran estimates at geographical locations
below county level.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Department does hold information on
UK Armed Forces veterans in each local authority who are in receipt of an Armed Forces
occupational pension, a disablement pension under the War Pensions Scheme or compensation
under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme. This information can be found in table
3 of “Location of Armed Forces pension and compensation recipients: as at 31 March
2018 (annex A)” which is published at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/location-of-armed-forces-pension-and-compensation-recipients-2018"
