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 Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The Ministry of Defence is already responsible for veterans, with a Minister directly responsible. We're not sure whether you'd like a seperate Government department for this, or if you'd like improvements to the support that veterans receive.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
