The Veterans All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) has recently launched a short nationwide survey to gather information on the individual experiences of UK veterans when dealing with ‘Veterans UK’. This Government department forms part of Defence Business Services (DBS) at the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and oversees both the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) and the War Pensions Scheme.
