The Department has not provided any direct funding for Service Charities to provide rehabilitation services to veterans of the armed forces.

However, since 2010 the Department has invested over £22.5 million to improve both mental and physical health services for veterans and used additional funding from LIBOR fines to banks to broaden the range of services available, including £2 million to Combat Stress to provide specific services for those veterans with alcohol problems and £2.7 million to help for Heroes for their Hidden Wounds programme providing mental health support for veterans.
