Improving the Medical Discharge Process
In the last 20 years, almost 40,000 men and women have had to leave the Armed Forces due to injury or illness. This number grows daily, with an average of three people medically discharged every day.
Policy Papers related to our ongoing advocacy work and lobbying in the UK parliament.
We continue to be actively engaged with politicians, the Office for Veterans' Affairs, the Ministry of Defence, the NHS and Government bodies to address vital gaps in care provision for wounded veterans and their families.
However, demand for our services isn’t going away and it has become clear that the coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on those we support. It has brought focus to areas that urgently require the collective attention of the Government, public and third sectors.
We hope our recommendations will be considered by policymakers and parliamentarians alike – but there are many other areas in which we will continue to have our shoulder firmly to the wheel on behalf of our veterans, and we will continue to play our part in making sure the voices of those who need and deserve these services are heard.

Improving the lives of the VSI - our most seriously injured veterans
We amplify the voice of the Armed Forces Community, by championing their needs to Government and fighting for what we believe they deserve.
Thanks to the kindness of our supporters, we’ve helped 27,000 people live well after military service. But thousands more still need us.
Our job is to ensure our wounded continue to have a voice; to champion their needs to Government and to do all we can to give them the futures they deserve.
