Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 15 April 2024 to Question 19769 on Carers’ Allowance: Veterans, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of recording whether Carers’ Allowance claimants are veterans.

As explained in the answer on 15 April, to PQ19769, we have no plans to introduce a veterans’ marker for Carer’s Allowance. Therefore, we do not hold information on the number of veterans receiving Carer’s Allowance in garrison towns.
