Details
On 2 March 2023, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and Office for Veterans바카라 사이트 Affairs (OVA) jointly commissioned an Independent Review of UK 바카라 사이트 welfare services for veterans. The review investigated the role, scope and breadth of UK 바카라 사이트 welfare provision for veterans, including by the MOD under the Veterans UK banner.
The review encompassed the MOD바카라 사이트s Veterans바카라 사이트 Welfare Service, Defence Transition Services, Integrated Personal Commissioning for Veterans, the Veterans Advisory and Pensions Committees and the Ilford Park Polish Home; as well as the Northern Ireland Veterans바카라 사이트 Support Office, and the government바카라 사이트s role in the Veterans바카라 사이트 Gateway.
The review was led by a Senior Civil Servant, with the Independent Veterans바카라 사이트 Advisor and other key stakeholders providing advice. This is the first time these elements of support to our veterans had been considered in the round since the launch of the 바카라 사이트Strategy for our veterans바카라 사이트 and corresponding 바카라 사이트Veterans Strategy Action Plan바카라 사이트, and the creation of the OVA. The government is grateful to the review team for the considerable amount of work engagement throughout.
As set out in this response, the government accepts the principle and intended outcome of all of the recommendations in the review, and there are already several recommendations which government is actively taking forward. These include:
- the retirement of the 바카라 사이트Veterans UK바카라 사이트 brand name in 2024
- transforming the way MOD welfare services are delivered to ensure a consistent level of service to those accessing support
- the removal of 바카라 사이트Veterans바카라 사이트 from the Minister for Defence People, Veterans and Service Families title, to avoid confusion and clarify that the Minister for Veterans바카라 사이트 Affairs in Cabinet Office holds primacy for coordinating veterans바카라 사이트 policy across government
MOD will continue administering armed forces pensions and compensation, transition support and welfare support for those with service-related issues.
OVA is working to improve Veterans Gateway content and exploring how it can best direct users to the information and support they need.
We know that veterans and supporting organisations want to see real change taken to enhance and rationalise welfare services for our Armed Forces Community, and that is what we intend to do in response to this review.
The response sets out the government바카라 사이트s commitment and high-level plans to meet the intended outcome of the recommendations. Further detail will be made available in due course as we make progress.
