Rejected petition RFA Long Service medal date of qualification

Petition HM the Queen to alter the date of qualification for the RFA LS &GC medal from August 2000 to prior.

More details

I served in the RFA from 1956 to 1990 so was not eligable even after
34 years.
People today are being awarded the medal after only 20 years service.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Royal Fleet Auxiliary Service Medal was established by royal warrant, and decisions about eligibility for the medal are a matter for the crown, not the Government or House of Commons.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
