Petition the MOD to collect the statistics for Suicide rates amongst UK Veterens

Closed 1,981 signatures

What the petition asks

Reports have indicated that 22 US Armed Forces Veterans commit suicide every day and this has been linked to undiagnosed PTSD from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Currently the MOD do not collect these statistics for UK veterans. Our Vets could be suffering in silence, this needs to change.
Evidence here.
