Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many (a) veterans and (b) veterans' families have contacted the Defence Transition Services requesting finance, debt and benefits support in each month of 2022.
The information requested is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
I can confirm that 435 referrals have been made to the Defence Transition Service between 1 January 2022 and 22 November 2022. Of these, six were for a service leavers spouse or partner.
