[BITList] Less than 22 years UK Forces = Pension

[John Feltham]

Another fiddle by successive UK Governments?

Add your votes.


equality in Veterans pensions

Responsible department: Ministry of Defence

Veterans of the UK Armed Forces serving on regular engagements who left the service prior to April 1975 having completed less than 22 years for Other ranks or 16 years for Commissioned Officers made indirect contributions towards pension but receive no benefit in return 
Those who served for a minimum of 2 years beyond April 1975 are entitled to a preserved pension pro-rata their service on reaching the age of 60,on the same terms as the pre-April 1975 leavers.

This is an outrageous injustice which Governments over the past 30 years have chosen to ignore. The government should rectify this unfair and unjust ruling with immediate effect.


Less than 22 years pension in HM Forces
 
If you did less than 22 years in HM Forces a petition has been put up to Parliament to get this debated, 100,000 signatures are needed I think it is too tall an order but as someone has said 'every little helps' so if you could lend your support that would be great
