Helen Maguire

Liberal Democrat — Epsom and Ewell

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 October 2025

Debate

Support for Disabled Veterans

Contribution

It is great that my hon. Friend has secured this debate. Nearly half of UK veterans report being disabled. That figure is far higher than it is for the general population. Many of our disabled veterans receive military compensation, as my hon. Friend said, to support them with an injury or illness caused by service. Does she agree that it is an absolute disgrace that military compensation is included when people are means-tested for certain benefits? That leaves so many veterans and their families disadvantaged.
