Government response—
Parliamentary debateNot eligible
Milestones—

People can be recognised as a veteran from one day of service. We want people to also be eligible for an Armed Forces pension for one day of service.

The current minimum of 2 years service should not prevent people from applying if they had to leave the forces before this.
