Background

We believe there needs to be a public inquiry into Veterans UK, including the war pensions claim system.

Additional details

We believe veterans have been mistreated for decades. This can exacerbate veterans’ PTSD. Some veterans have found their war pension being reduced, which can leave people in debt and reliant on charities to pay bills. We think the whole of Veterans UK needs an overhaul.
