Disregard all military pension schemes for tax and other benefit entitlements
Closed

What the petition asks
Military pensions are subject to income tax, and many state benefits are reduced due to income from military pensions, including the War Disablement Pension and associated supplements. We think all military pensions should be disregarded for calculating tax and other benefit entitlements.
Potential recruits need to see that their country values their commitment for their lifetime.
