Scotland: The Scottish Veterans Commissioner's latest report - 'Veterans and Finance' has been published

Scottish Veteran's Commisioner:I’m pleased to publish Veterans and Finance, my latest report exploring the financial stability and wellbeing of veterans in Scotland.

While most veterans transition well, some face complex financial challenges. This report highlights where more can be done to support them, shares examples of good practice, and makes practical recommendations for government and service providers.
It also recognises the valuable contribution veterans make to the financial services sector.

Office for Veterans’ Affairs: Analysis of responses to the Veterans’ Survey 2022 relating to family support for UK armed forces veterans

 
The Veterans’ Survey 2022 was the first survey of its kind in the UK and was a collaboration between the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the Office for Veterans’ Affairs and the devolved administrations.

Alongside the Veterans’ Survey, a smaller Veterans’ Family Survey was made available for immediate family members of UK veterans who resided in the UK and were aged 18 years or over. Family members could complete the survey if their veteran family member was living or deceased, and the survey was open to any immediate family member including stepparents and adult stepchildren. The survey was conducted through a voluntary self-select sample which relied on advertising and promotion primarily by veterans’ charities and organisations.

In total, 2,390 people responded to the Family Survey and response rates varied by question asked. This represents a small proportion of family members that would have been eligible to respond to the survey. These data are presented as unweighted data only.
