Compensate the UK veterans injured in Iraq prior to 1 April 2005.

What the petition asks

UK Veteran, No Legs No Compensation!

Currently any British veteran that was injured in the Iraq war prior to 1 April 2005 are not eligible for the current compensation scheme.

There are UK veterans who have pledged their allegiance to our country, went to war in Iraq, were injured in the line of duty and who have not received a penny in compensation.

There is a young veteran, in the UK, with no legs and he has never received a penny in compensation for his injuries.

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.

Veterans who were injured due to service before 6 April 2005 are already able to claim compensation under the War Pension Scheme. We're not sure exactly what further action you'd like the Government or Parliament to take.
