Equality in veterans pensions - 1097 members
Veterans who left service before April 1975 get no pension
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.

"We lost touch 18 years ago but found each other through forces reunited. We must have sent over 100 e-mails in the last 3 days."

Up until 4 weeks ago I had never even turned a computer on. 
I found my brother within 10 mins. I can't believe it was so easy! Thanks Forces Reunited.
