This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

Veterans who were injured due to service before 6 April 2005 are already able to claim compensation under the War Pension Scheme. We're not sure exactly what further action you'd like the Government or Parliament to take.

You can find out more about eligibility here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
