https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/pensions/article-1633285/Forgotten-heroes-denied-pension-rights.html

'They sacrificed the best years of their lives in the Armed Forces. But as Veteran’s Day approaches on Friday, a generation of soldiers, sailors and airmen are still battling for a fair pension. Here, James Salmon highlights the plight of those who, after a lifetime of loyalty, now face retirement in poverty.'
