Scottish Veterans Commissioner

The Scottish Veterans Commissioner is a government agency based in Edinburgh that works to improve outcomes and opportunities for veterans and their families across Scotland. Operating as an independent statutory office, the Commissioner champions the challenges faced by the ex-Service community and influences policymakers to address gaps in devolved public services. The organisation advocates for veterans' needs across employment, housing, health, finance, and legal matters, conducting research, publishing reports, and engaging directly with service leavers, employers, and support organisations. By bridging the gap between Scotland's veteran population and government decision-makers, the Scottish Veterans Commissioner ensures that ex-Service personnel and their dependants receive the support and recognition they deserve while contributing to society.
