What the petition asks
Bring forward the system to allow armed forces veterans to apply for a veteran's id card. The veteran id card has been available only to people leaving since 2018. 4 years later veterans that left before Dec 2018 have been totally forgotten about, its only fair that this is available to all of us
This has been running for 4 years and still the government doesn't care enough about the veteran's to sort this out, this is very important for us veteran's to maintain our emotional connection to our service and it will really help people with there mental health and with there identity and help us with accessing help for veterans as its a official document it will allow us to prove we are a veteran of HM Armed Forces, its disgraceful that 4 years later millions are still waiting for a ID card
