Veteran ID card

[langy71]

Maybe this may be useful to some of you old Vets on here,

A while ago the governement announced it was going to start producing an actual Veterans ID card, I'm guessing it helps to put a stop to 'stolen honour' which any Vet will know is when a 'fantasist' ot 'walt' takes glory in claiming he/she actually served our country, when in fact the closest they ever came to signing on the dotted line was watching ultimate force on the T.V.

''Minister for Veterans' Affairs, Rt Hon. Johnny Mercer MP shared:
...... Veteran cards provide ex-service men and women with a tangible connection to the important contributions they have made to the defence of our nation''

Anyhow..
I like many others applied for this, and It turned up this morning.



So if you're a Veteran then take a look at the following website , fill in the details and one will be made up for you..

hope this is of interest to some of you..

Thanks Chris. I was aware of a roll out but wasn’t aware we had to apply.
Good prompt.

Well, I can't find the official online application anywhere. All it mentions on the .gov website is that it's going live in January 24 and the procedure will be announced shortly!!
Am I looking in the wrong place?

Nice idea. Glad someone in your Country had it!

Doug,

Click on the email address at the bottom of Chris's post.

You will need to send your name, D.O.B. and year you left, you then get invited to apply... I'm waiting impatiently! :tongue-out2:

[langy71]

Doug, apologies if there's a bit of confusion,

follow what Lee wrote, they'll drop you an e-mail back, and if they are currently full, they'll drop you another e-mail when the next 'block' opens, honestly I waited a couple of weeks after sending the first e-mail and my 'new' invite appeared..

note: I've edited the link at the bottom of my original post to stand out a bit better... :thumb2:

Hi Lee and Chris.
No confusion really. I noticed it was an email link but thought it a bit odd that could apply that way. Especially after the Gov website stating how to apply soon would be notified on their web site. Just me not wanting to get caught in a government trap!! Had that happen way back when I tried to circumvent the official route!!!
No probs. I'll email them tonight. Need to sort out Barclaycard first!!!
OH, by the by, do you guys use the Defence Discount Service. Link to DDS A fiver for five years, lots of discounts!!!!!

They aren't taking anymore at the mo but will be in the near future but as above, DDS and Blue Light cars are always good for discounts!

If the above information is wrong, you'll need to return to your GOV.UK One Login account to change your details.

I hate to dance when I do not know the steps....

Followed your link and this was as far as I got, no email, no contact, nothing.

Not seen that page before,

Maybe try this way,

send an e-mail to
[HEADING=2]DBS-Veteran-Cards@mod.gov.uk[/HEADING]

with the following details in it,

Subject : veterans ID card
name,
year of birth,
year of leaving service,

you should then recieve an e-mail reply thanking you for your interest, and they will drop you an 'invite to apply' as soon as the next tranche opens..
