At first only new claimants were asked about their Armed Forces status. From June 2021 onwards, other UC claimants reporting changes in their work and earnings have also been able to report their status. From July 2021 onwards, UC agents have also been 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> <\/p><p>Data coverage continues to improve over time and by June 2024 data was held on the armed forces status of approximately 75% of the GB UC caseload (see table below). It should be noted that Armed forces status is self-reported by claimants and is not verified by the Ministry of Defence or Office for Veterans\u2019 Affairs. A claimant\u2019s status can be recorded as \u201ccurrently serving\u201d, \u201cserved in the past\u201d, \u201cnot served\u201d or \u201cprefer not to say\u201d. Data is not collected on the specific branch of the Armed Forces that claimants are serving in or have served in in the past.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Data is not held on the total number of UC claimants who are currently serving in the Armed Forces or who have served in the past, but data is held on those who have identified themselves so far.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The way the data is collected means the claimants for whom an Armed Forces status is recorded may not be representative of the UC caseload as a whole. This means it is not yet possible to produce reliable estimates of the overall number or proportion of UC claimants who are currently serving in the Armed Forces or who have served in the past.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Increases in the numbers of claimants with a recorded status of \u201ccurrently serving\u201d or \u201cserved in the past\u201d do not necessarily mean the overall numbers of claimants who are currently serving or have served in the past have increased and may reflect increases in the number of claimants for whom data is held as data coverage improves over time.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The table below shows how the proportion of the GB UC caseload with a recorded Armed Forces status has changed over time.
