Veterans Advisory and Pensions Committee (VAPC)

VAPC includes raising awareness of the War Pensions and Armed Forces Compensation Schemes, the Veterans UK Welfare Service, and the availability of cross-government support to Veterans and their families assisting veterans in accessing local services as envisaged under the Armed Forces Covenant. The VAPC also provides support to Veterans UK by assisting individuals with any problems or complaints they have regarding the war pensions or AFCS claims process and much more.

Regional DWP Armed Forces Champions

As part of the Armed Forces Covenant, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has initiatives that help current and former armed forces personnel and their families access Jobcentre Plus services.

Champions maintain close contact with Jobcentre Plus staff, who make the Champion aware of Armed Forces issues and raise issues with the Champion if requested. If you have a client who requires support from the DWP please use the contact information below to access your local DWP Armed Forces Champion.
