Finally give existing military Veterans a Veterans ID card

What the petition asks
We want the Government to finally issue existing military Veterans with an ID card that has been promised since 2018.
We understand there is a focus on fraud prevention however this can be resolved easily with asking the right questions such as service number, DOB etc.
There are too many ex-service personnel without an issued ID card.
How is it possible that we can request military documents and medical records with just a few details but can't put a similar process in place for an ID card?
