Remove Tax from veterans pensions
Veterans pensions should be tax free. As pensions actually reduce in value over the years so many older vets have great difficulty paying their way in life,
Why is this important?
Many ex service people are proud of their time but are reluctant to seek help. A piece of tin (medal) does not pay the bills but making pensions tax free would help many.
Ask how many ex service people when they last had a holiday, unless they have additional incomes or supportive families they are struggling to exist on service and government pensions. £1200 a month does not go far when paying mortgage and bills.
