I take it that when applying for the card people are reading the very first paragraph on the .gov application web page that says:
“
An HM Armed Forces Veteran Card is a way to prove that you served in the UK armed forces. The card can make it quicker and easier to apply for support as a veteran.”
Under the second paragraph is the link ‘
Check what you can do with a Veteran card’.
Are any details about the cards being read before applying, which involves giving a shedful of personal details…
Again on the first page, you’re told
‘When you apply, you’ll be asked for:
- your service number for your last period of service
- your National Insurance number
- the approximate year you started and ended your service - it does not have to be exact
- a recent digital passport style photo, showing your head and shoulders’
And we wonder how so many people fall for the many many scams going around !
