We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Auxesia Homes will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Auxesia Homes recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:

Priority Housing: We pledge to take reasonable steps to give priority access to those who have served our county and their families. Suitable housing options: We will work diligently to provide a range of affordable housing options in the geographic regions we operate for those who serve or have served our country in a location they want to live.

2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

Judicial Summary

Claimant in receipt of Employment and Support Allowance (income-related) (“ESA”), including Severe Disability Premium (“SDP”) in the period immediately preceding her claim to Universal Credit (“UC”) – claim made for UC - SSWP determined that she was entitled to the transitional SDP amount of £285 per month – later converted to the transitional severe disability premium element (“TSDPE”) – the claimant later notified SSWP of a relevant change in circumstances (that she had been diagnosed with polymyalgia) – at that time UC award comprised a carer element of UC - SSWP decided to add a LCWRA element to her UC award and in consequence the carer element of the UC award was removed, pursuant to regulation 29(4) of the Universal Credit Regulations 2013 - by virtue of regulation 55 of the Universal Credit (Transitional Regulations) 2014, the effect of the addition of the LCWRA element was to erode the TSDPE to nil. Overall, the amount of her UC award went from £975.20 for the earlier assessment period to £879.98 for the following UC assessment period – whether breach of Article 14 and Article 1 Protocol 1 of ECHR – whether regulations 55(2)(c) and 55(4) of the 2014 Regulations to be interpreted and/or disapplied to avoid discriminatory outcome – whether TSDPE to be eroded by the difference between the carer’s element of UC and the LCWRA element of UC from the initial assessment period and for each subsequent assessment period.

High needs benchmarking tool
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-15)

A comparative tool to help local authorities plan for future high needs spend and provision.

We have recently published a new Financial Benchmarking and Insights Tool (https://financial-benchmarking-and-insights-tool.education.gov.uk/) which includes benchmarking data for high needs. As with the existing tool on this page, local authorities can use the new tool to periodically assess their own level of spend and pattern of provision against those of similar local authorities, by navigating to any local authority and selecting ‘High needs benchmarking’.

We encourage you to engage with the new tool and feedback as appropriate, by contacting us at: xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx)

Once we are reassured that the new tool is meeting local authority needs for benchmarking high needs spending, we will close the benchmarking tool published on this page.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Wolverton & Greenleys Town Council will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Wolverton & Greenleys Town Council recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
Evaluation of the Help to Save scheme
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-03)

HMRC commissioned Ipsos to undertake qualitative and quantitative research with users and eligible non-users of the Help to Save scheme.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) commissioned research agency Ipsos to undertake qualitative and quantitative research with users and eligible non-users of the Help to Save scheme.

The overarching objective of the evaluation was to understand the impact of Help to Save on long-term savings behaviour and financial resilience of those who have used Help to Save. The evaluation questions were:

has Help to Save encouraged new saving behaviours during the life of the account?

has Help to Save instilled long-term saving behaviours amongst Users?

has Help to Save prompted greater financial resilience amongst Users?

why have some of those eligible for a Help to Save account not opened one?

Ipsos conducted 50 interviews with users and eligible non-users of Help to Save between September and November 2023, followed by 1,688 surveys between September 2024 and January 2025.

The views in this report are the authors’ own and do not necessarily reflect those of HMRC.
