Disgraceful....yet they're happy to harbour and pay the benefits and future pensions of terrorists and criminals from those countries now permitted to live amongst us. s !

Signed.
Something not quite right with a country that gives a seven figure bonus to people who not that long ago played a part in bankrupting the economy and yet try to cheat a man who put his life on the line for his country out of a well deserved pension. I despair sometimes.

[grahamw48]

Sorry...meant to say, yes, I've signed it of course.

[grahamw48]

Well, the situation seems to have been resolved.

On Monday I started a petition for my husband to receive his full military pension and last night I found out he will.
After months of worry it is a huge relief to finally hear my husband will receive his pension.
I first raised my fears in the media in June but it wasn't until my petition on Change.org that the Ministry of Defence said Michael's transfer request will also stall his redundancy.
The response to our petition has been fantastic and somewhat overwhelming. We are so grateful to the 100,000 people who have responded and continue to spread the word, your efforts have not been in vain and we are so grateful to you all.
We hope that others in similar situations have the courage to ask for help because with the support of Great British public, it is achievable.
Pension Justice for Troops, a group of former service men and women and their relatives, have started a new petition asking the Prime Minister to review the treatment of all soldiers made redundant within a whisper of qualifying for their petition. You can support their petition here.

Thank you all,
Jolene'

Now that's a great result

It's something that needs to be sorted out. Ridiculous and completely unjust

This country amazes me at times.

This country amazes me at times.

Putting the boot into our armed forces seems to be standard practice what with this and court martialing Marines for shooting a taliban killer

[grahamw48]

As a country we seem bent on destroying ourselves.
