Labour launches digital Veteran Card – here’s how it works
Nearly two million to access new digital Veteran Card
- A new government scheme has been launched, providing nearly two million veterans with access to a digital Veteran Card.
- The digital card, accessible via smartphones, offers easier and quicker access to a range of benefits, including housing, mental health support, and discounts at museums and retailers.
- Previously only available as a physical card, the digital version displays personal details such as name, photo, and service information, with integrated security features.
- A minister suggested the initiative could serve as a “case study” for digital IDs, potentially addressing public concerns about mandatory identification schemes.
- To obtain the digital card, veterans must first possess a physical card and then apply through the gov.uk website, which requires creating a One Login app account.
