Help ex service personnel who are suffering with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Post traumatic stress disorder has claimed yet another service man who has died due to lack of support. How many more are going to be let down by the government before you take your responsibilities seriously? When are you going to act and stop these needless deaths, it is your responsibility?
Many ex service men and women are homeless and their condition has been caused by seeing and doing what the services has asked them to do on yours and our behalf.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you would like more help for ex service personnel suffering with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, but are not sure what help you would like.

You could start a new petition asking for the UK Government or Parliament to increase funding and accessibility of mental health services for veterans and/or to fund homes for veterans who become homeless, if that's what you want to happen.
