The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what resources have been allocated to promote awareness of the LGBT+ Veterans Financial Recognition Scheme among isolated or digitally excluded veterans.

Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones

Defence is working closely with local councils, veteran employers, LGBT and Service charities, as well as the Services, to enhance awareness among affected veterans about the LGBT Financial Recognition Scheme and how they may apply. As part of this outreach activity, we are working to identify effective ways of reaching veterans who have not yet engaged with the Scheme including those who are isolated or digitally excluded. The Government has allocated additional resources to support this work, including dedicated outreach funding.
