Manifesto 2017

Our Manifesto 2017 for the government highlights five key priorities for the Armed Forces community.

Our Manifesto calls on the UK government to:

• Ensure questions concerning military service and membership of the Armed Forces Community feature in the next national census in 2021
• Invest in research on ‘what works’ in treating veterans with Gulf War illnesses, and set up formal communication channels to convey the results of US research developments to these individuals
• Provide an enhanced package of practical support to corporate signatories of the Armed Forces Covenant
• Enable veterans to receive treatment for Non-Freezing Cold Injury through Defence Medical Services
• Ensure divorced or separated spouses and partners of Service personnel are able to access housing support on the same terms as other Armed Forces families
