Sort and accept the issue of PTSD and suicide amongst our troops and veterans

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Support out troops passed and serving. Recognise the issue firstly !
We owe these professionals. How difficult is that to sort out ? Other lesser nations support their veterans better than this country as the norm. We as GREAT Britain do nothing. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 This has to change right now ! We support lots of people from wherever but let our own down. Some live rough on the streets and some kill them selves. You the elected need to stop this. Support our Military once and for all. Get a grip. Stop suicide amongst vets first and let’s get them sorted. It’s a disgrace !!!

Why it was rejected

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

We understand that you are concerned about support for verterans, but we can only accept petitions that make a clear request for a specific action by the Government or House of Commons.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Coroners must be lawfully obligated to statistically record veteran suicides: Coroners must be lawfully obligated to statistically record veteran suicides

Enshrine the Military Covenant in UK Law: Enshrine the Military Covenant in UK Law

Provide funding to expand Veterans UK helpline services: Provide funding to expand Veterans UK helpline services

If you want the Government to take an action not covered by the above petitions, you could start a new petition, but would need to be clear about what action you want the Government to take.
