Veterans: Workplace Pensions
Asked by: Maria Eagle (Labour - Liverpool Garston) Monday 20th July 2026 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress he has made on reducing the backlog of veterans' pensions affected by the McCloud remedy, including expected timelines for cases to be resolved.

There remains 37,890 members who are still awaiting issuance of their RSS. Of these, 12,123 are pensioner members who left service prior to 1 October 2023. At this stage, I am unable to provide a specific completion date for all outstanding RSSs. However, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) is committed to keeping members informed and a further update on progress and timescales will be published on the Armed Forces Pensions page. The Armed Forces Pensions page on GOV.UK provides a delivery update and outlines the revised timeline, which can be found at the following link under 'Remediable Service Statement Delivery Update': https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pensions-and-compensation-for-veterans#remediable-service-statement-delivery-update As the delay breaches the regulatory deadline, the MOD has reported this matter to the Pensions Regulator and is keeping them informed of our efforts to address the issue. It is important to note that all public sector schemes are facing similar challenges, and this is not a problem exclusive to the AFPS or the MOD.

Reserve Forces: Tax Allowances
Asked by: Andrew Snowden (Conservative - Fylde) Monday 20th July 2026 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will assess the potential merits of increasing tax free bounty payments to members of the reserve forces.

Asked by: Stuart Anderson (Conservative - South Shropshire) Monday 20th July 2026 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 40 of his Department's document entitled Defence Investment plan, published 30 June 2026, if he will set out what steps the Army is taking to integrate drone capabilities at all levels.

In line with the Army’s 20:40:40 force design construct, capabilities will include high-volume, low-cost consumable drones that can be rapidly replaced, alongside more sophisticated attritable uncrewed systems whose loss is acceptable without jeopardising mission success. These capabilities will be integrated with survivable crewed platforms that command and exploit the capabilities of the wider force. Investing in the new force design construct will enhance the Army’s ability to sense, strike and manoeuvre at greater scale, speed, and persistence. |

Asked by: Ben Obese-Jecty (Conservative - Huntingdon) Monday 20th July 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the Defence Investment Plan, published on 30 June 2026, paragraph 12, what progress has he made in partnering jobcentre staff with military personnel to enhance career and training advice for people looking for a career in the Armed Forces. Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is working closely with the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to improve the support available through Jobcentre Plus for people interested in Armed Forces careers.
Local relationships already exist between Jobcentres, Armed Forces Careers Offices and Armed Forces Champions. Building on the agreement announced in February 2026, DWP and MOD are working to strengthen how these relationships support jobseekers to access clear information about Armed Forces roles, training routes and career opportunities, including in engineering, cyber, healthcare and logistics.
DWP and MOD are developing the practical implementation of this approach, including specialist training for work coaches and closer working between Jobcentres, Armed Forces Careers Offices and Armed Forces Champions with the approach being piloted in the West Midlands. This will help ensure jobseekers receive more informed and consistent advice about Armed Forces opportunities through the Jobcentre Plus network.
This supports the ambition set out in the Defence Investment Plan to strengthen routes into Armed Forces careers. DWP and MOD will use learning from pilot activity to inform wider delivery and support informed career conversations with jobseekers. |
