[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Main Board ] When Robert Jones first opened the site in 1994 he couldn’t have imagined that it would ever attract so many members and so much interest as it has generated. Sadly Robert passed away unexpectedly in 1918. he made us promise we would continue the running of the site in his name and uphold its good name this we promised to do. Colin and I don't have the expert knowledge in running the site but we will prod along as best we can to uphold its name.

I will be in contact as soon as I hear back from the MOD re: 80th Anniversary of D Day.
Ā
With regards to Veteran ID Cards, I understand that Government will be issuing ID cards to existing veterans who left the army forces before 2018 in phase two of the rollout.Ā Ā
Ā
New veteransā€™ ID cards are being issued to service leavers as part of the discharge process. Under phase one of the rollout, all personnel who left the armed forces since December 2018 are now automatically given one of the new ID cards, which can be used to help veterans access specialist support and services.

Phase two of the rollout will extend the scheme toĀ enable existing veterans who left the armed forces before 2018Ā to more quickly, easily and securely prove they served in the armed forces, so they can access the services they need, through digital means.Ā

As announced during Armed Forces week, more than Ā£1 million in new money is being invested into the new digital service for veterans, due to be available for all veterans in 2023.Ā I am encouraged that this service will help ensure that Recognition Cards are given only to those with verified service,Ā guarding against fraudulent use as a wider range of benefits become accessible.
(As you know) veterans do not require a Recognition Card to prove their status or to access veteran-related services or discounts.
Veteran status can be verified by the veteran themselves or any veterans' service by contacting Veterans UK.Ā Additionally, veterans can access a range of discounts through the Defence Discount Service, the official MOD-endorsed service for the armed forces.

I hope you also saw the new funding in the budget to support veterans. Ā We are determined that the U.K. will be the best place in the world to be a veteran and this represents a further step in that direction.
Ā
Yours sincerely
