Grant full UK citizenship rights to Commonwealth Armed Forces Veterans

What the petition asks
The Government should amend immigration being considered by Parliament to specifically make Armed forces veterans and their families a special case for exemption, granting them full rights and benefits of UK citizenship with free visa application.
This would demonstrate Great British values to its Armed Forces veterans and redress the unfairness highlighted by recent cases where Commonwealth veterans have faced significant financial hardship because of their lack of citizenship.
