Veterans Policy Unit
The Veterans Policy Unit (VPU) was formed in 2004 from the merger of the Gulf Veterans’ Illnesses Unit and the Veterans Affairs Secretariat. The Unit provides support to the Minister for Veterans and Under Secretary of State for Defence, Derek Twigg MP. It comprises around 35 Military and Civilian Personnel, and covers a range of policy issues and projects relating to Veterans, including ex-Service homelessness, legacy health matters, veterans awareness events, commemorative booklets, war graves and education initiatives. The VPU also runs the Veterans Challenge Fund. With close links to the Service Personnel and Veterans Agency, ex-Service organisations and other Government Departments, VPU strives to ensure that our millions of veterans receive the best possible service.
