<p>The first disbursements to recipients of this programme began in April 2019. In
the financial year 2019/2020, 2,490 veterans and 3,229 widows of veterans were supported
through the Commonwealth Veterans Programme. Disbursements are currently underway
for this financial year (April 2020 to March 2021). To date, 1,815 veterans and 1,960
widows of veterans have received support. We do not track the number of households
benefitting from this programme, because support is made on an individual basis.</p>
