Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps his Department plans to take to support veterans with increases in the cost of living.

This Government is committed to supporting all households, including veterans, with the cost of living through initiatives such as cost of living payments.

Veterans in receipt of disability benefits, including the Armed Forces Independence Payment, Constant Attendance Allowance or the Mobility Supplement under the War Pension Scheme, are among those eligible for a £150 disability cost of living payment.

We encourage veterans in need of support to contact the Veterans' Gateway on 0808 802 1212, where a range of information and support services can be accessed.

Fundamentally, the best way that we can tackle increased pressures on the cost of living is by reducing inflation, and that is what this Government is committed to do.
