Veterans planning to leave Scotland in the event of a yes vote?
In the SNPs 600 odd page document on their vision for a future independent Scotland, it states their intention to take over responsibility for paying service pensions for veterans who remain living in Scotland. Now, this is only an intention, and presumably would be one of the many subjects that would have to be negotiated if the result is yes, it may not actually come to pass, however.....
A friend of my wife told her that she knew of "many" retired military personnel who intend to leave Scotland in the event of a yes vote, with their pension being the main area of concern.
How many is "many"? Well, this being a rumour site, I thought I'd ask if anyone else was aware of this, is in a similar situation, has similar intentions, etc.....
