I doubt they will roll it out for maybe another 12 Months or When we get back to normal. The last MOD update: Update 27 April 2020 The Veterans’ recognition scheme has a 2 phase rollout. Phase 1 is complete; with Service leavers receiving a recognition card as part of the discharge process. Phase 2 is to extend the scheme to existing veterans so that they can more quickly, easily and securely prove they served in the UK Armed Forces so they can access the services they need. We had hoped to have this in place by the end of 2019, but due to the requirement to future-proof the scheme so that veterans can access a wider range of benefits, the need to safeguard against fraudulent use means, this process will take longer. Information on how to apply will be released closer to the launch date. edited by Delhi_Spearman on 27/02/2021

Thanks. edited by gaf2uk@googlemail.com on 22/02/2021

It is hoped the Politicians in the City for their Annual Conference will take note and give us their further support. have a look on EfVA website and become involved. Newspapers both local and National need to be informed of this injustice. Likewise write to your local MP and do not take NO for an answer.

I served from October 1966 till October 1974, 8years and 8 days (maybe 8hours and 8 minutes, but whos counting!). Missed it by 6 months. I tried to get the pension and when informed, sorry no can do, I left it at that. Does any one think there is a chance to get this or are we all going to die off hoping.

Until we can add a button there, to reply - look at the top right of the forum - there is an 'Add Reply' blue button. Click it. Then you'll be able to add images.dennis shrubshall wrote: I don't get that page come up
