Reform UK Respects Veterans

Sunday, 16 June 2024

When campaigning in Gloucester for Reform Uk , I am often approached by veterans asking what Reform policies are relating to them

Here are our policies:

  1. National Benefits Scheme We want to start a "You serve, You Deserve" scheme. This will give veterans and their families national rewards and benefits, including travel perks.

  2. Veterans First Priority We aim to give veterans priority in healthcare, housing, training, and education. This also includes support for their dependents.

  3. Leadership Roles We will give veterans preferential treatment for important public sector jobs, like senior positions in police forces and hospitals.

  4. Recruitment and Housing We plan to take back control of military recruitment and housing. We want to fix issues caused by private sector outsourcing and improve the condition of military housing.

  5. New Veterans Department We will create a dedicated, well-funded department specifically for veterans. This department will ensure veterans get the support they need during and after their service.

  6. Legal and Financial Protections We plan to introduce an Armed Forces Justice Bill to protect servicemen and women from unfair legal claims. This bill will also set up a watchdog to handle complaints and appeals about housing and welfare quickly.

  7. Increased Defence Spending We aim to boost defense spending to 3% of the national GDP in six years. This will help improve support for veterans by ensuring better equipment and facilities during their service.

These plans show our commitment at Reform UK to value and support our veterans, making sure they are well taken care of and integrated into civilian life after their service
