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\u2019 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>

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 PQ3093<\/a>, where the Department explained the current progress in identifying such claimants.<\/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>

Serving armed forces personnel claiming Universal Credit will be no different to other UC claimants.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4513", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mims Davies"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Mid Sussex"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mims Davies"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-03-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "17032"} , {"_value" : "17033"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-03-12T11:22:02.86Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-03-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Universal Credit: Veterans"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 27 November 2023 to Question 3093 on Universal Credit: Armed Forces, if he will make an estimate of the number of Universal Credit claimants who are veterans, but who don\u2019t declare their veteran status.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/298", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve McCabe"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Birmingham, Selly Oak"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Steve McCabe"} ], "uin" : "17036"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 1, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
