The impact of VAT changes on the Continuity of Education Allowance
For families claiming the Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) this is likely to increase private school fees.
To minimise the impact of this change, the Secretary of State has directed that the CEA rate cap will be uprated, to ensure it continues to pay up to 90% of school fees for eligible claimants.
What does this mean for CEA claimants?
NHS England - 2024 Autumn/Winter Armed Forces health stakeholder brief
The Veteran Friendly Accreditation scheme by the RCGP and NHS England is a quick-to-implement, free support programme that provides the general practice team with a simple process for identifying, understanding and supporting veterans and, where appropriate, referring them to specialist physical and mental healthcare services. These could include Op COURAGE: The Veterans Mental Health and Wellbeing Service, Op RESTORE: The Veterans Physical Health and Wellbeing Service and OP Nova: Supporting Veterans in the Justice System.
98% of primary care networks currently have at least one veteran friendly accredited GP practice – please help us to meet our ambition of 100% coverage, by promoting the benefits of practices becoming veteran friendly, to best support their patients who have served in the UK Armed Forces.
As we join the whole of the NHS in England in remembering the commitments and sacrifices of the Armed Forces and their families and wider communities, we wish you a peaceful Remembrance at what can be a difficult time of year for people who have served and their loved ones. Those who have served in the UK Armed Forces, and live in England can contact Op COURAGE for support with their mental health.
