This Government is committed to supporting all households, including veterans, with the cost of living through initiatives such as cost of living payments.<\/p>
<\/p>
Veterans in receipt of disability benefits, including the Armed Forces Independence Payment, Constant Attendance Allowance or the Mobility Supplement under the War Pension Scheme, are among those eligible for a £150 disability cost of living payment.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> We encourage veterans in need of support to contact the Veterans' Gateway on 0808 802 1212, where a range of information and support services can be accessed.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p> Fundamentally, the best way that we can tackle increased pressures on the cost of living is by reducing inflation, and that is what this Government is committed to do.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p>"}
