I have found recently a few places, shops, pubs, restaurants that offer a 10% discount for veterans. Despite showing a photo of me in uniform by my aircraft, this wasn't accepted. So maybe there is a use for a 'Veterans card'. I already use a discounted Senior Railcard which is same price as Veterans Railcard, thanks to my local authority. I also have a letter when I was awarded my War Disability Pension that states I am entitled to priority treartment from the NHS, I presume due to closure of military hospitals. I showed this to my GP who had never heard of veterans treatment, and it seemed to work.
