Rejected petition Pensions for ex-service people who left before 1975

More details

Despite several attempts, previous governments have refused to consider any pensions for service people who left the services before 1975. These people were unable to contribute to a company or private pension during the period they served in the armed forces and many now have to rely on the basic state pension.
