Question for Ministry of Defence

The Ministry of Defence is reviewing a range of options to ensure a form of voluntary identification is made available. We will make a further announcement later this year.

Veterans can already receive discounts on a range of services offered by the private sector through the Defence Discount Service. This scheme will continue and the Veterans ID card will not replace or replicate this service.
