Release unredacted medical records to Nuclear Test Veterans.
The MOD should release, without redactions, medical records relating to nuclear test veterans. This government should formally acknowledge and apologise for any effect nuclear radiation has had on the people who took part in experiments and their children and grandchildren.
Recognise ‘Veteran’ as a protected characteristic in law.
Make ‘Veteran’ a protected characteristic in the Equality Act 2010 to help ensure veterans aren't disadvantaged and that Armed Forces Covenant objectives are consistently applied. Require organisations to enable recording of veteran status with safeguards and prevent discrimination or disadvantage.
Require coroners to find out if the deceased was a veteran and fund a database
Government should mandate coroners to establish and record whether the deceased has military/veteran status and to consider whether service-related brain injury (TBI) including blast wave and overpressure injuries, could be a contributing factor. It should fund a database to identify any patterns.
Provide funding for Veterans to remain in care homes
We call on the Government to create a fund to ensure that Veterans in Care Homes are not forced to change homes when their own private funding runs out. This can be especially hard for Veterans living with Dementia
Make a law to protect ILR from abolition and retrospective changes
We want the Parliament to introduce primary legislation that guarantees Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) as a permanent route to settlement. ILR must not be abolished, withdrawn from holders, or replaced with visas. Any changes to ILR should apply only to new entrants from the date of implementation
