Among both mandatory and voluntary participants, six in ten thought the support received had increased their chances of moving into work.</p><p> </p><p>Veterans will also be eligible for the Universal Support (US) programme which is currently in development. This will be evaluated to provide evidence on the effectiveness of the program for its participants.</p><p> </p><p>The is currently no analysis of veteran’s outcomes on Universal Credit (UC). The armed forces marker on UCFS was introduced in 2021.
