Perhaps I am missing the point? It seems to me that someone who has come for a foreign land and has served the country for years is chizzled out of a pension on some weasely technicality but illegals do very well, especially if they are Mad Mullahs with only one hand! Allowances for all 4 wives, EU citizens here alone but being paid child benefit for children living in Poland. If there was a queue for funds and justice the Ghurkhas should be well up the front of it.
