Personal Independence Payment: Veterans
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps she is taking to help tackle stigma among disabled veterans claiming PIP.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
The benefits system exists to support people at critical points in their lives and for a range of reasons. There should be no stigma attached to claiming a benefit you're entitled to, and people should claim social security benefits as and when their circumstances dictate.
