Don't count military pensions as income for means-tested benefits

What the petition asks
Do not stop veterans being entitled to means-tested benefits because they have an army pension. They put their lives on the line to help the country, yet many aren't entitled to benefits due to their army pension. I think this is unfair and should be disregarded.
Disregard the army pension when a person is applying for means-tested benefits to help veterans with the cost of living.
