Debate
Armed Forces BillContribution
I also want to highlight the amendments tabled by my hon. Friends the Members for Epsom and Ewell (Helen Maguire), West Dorset (Edward Morello) and Eastbourne (Josh Babarinde). They cover issues relating to pension communications, the transfer of medical assessments, the reserve forces estate, the treatment of domestic abuse offences, veterans’ mental health, personal independence payment reassessment exemptions for amputees, and disregarding armed forces compensation in means-tested benefits. Taken together, they speak to the critical importance of ensuring that the commitments of the covenant are applied equally and in full, ensuring that no servicewoman or serviceman, current or former, will be denied their benefits because of a postcode lottery.
