Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to notify war widows and widowers of support groups they can access.
This question was answered on 21st March 2016
All widow(er)s of serving members of the Armed Forces are sent a letter of condolence and a comprehensive Bereavement Pack which is tailored to their family circumstances and provides full details of the support available to them.
When Veterans UK are notified of the death of a Veteran the Veterans Welfare Service send a leaflet to the widow(er) detailing support groups. The Veterans Welfare Service also visit and assist in accessing further support.
