Support for Armed Forces Veterans
On 12th March, the UK Government launched a campaign to help improve veterans’ access to healthcare services and opened applications to the £2.52 million Veterans Mobility Fund.
Published: 4 April 2024
The key points of the campaign are:
· Government urges UK veterans to access specialist healthcare services through their GPs.
· Veterans can now apply for mobility grants through Help for Heroes to increase independence and choice.
· GP practices are encouraged to become ‘Veteran Friendly’ and refer patients who have served in the armed forces to dedicated NHS pathways.
