目的
Purpose
No civilian has any comprehension of life in British military forces, or the impact of the removal of that life when unexpectedly returned to “Civvy Street” following the onset of a permanent illness or profound disability, with the gradual realisation that support in the civilian world means that a disabled veteran is just one of a crowd. The paper aims to discuss this issue.
Design/methodology/approach
Participant observation.
Findings
Welfare reforms together with austerity measures introduced by the British government are causing preventable harm to the most vulnerable in society.
Research limitations/implications
This paper was written by invitation and is limited by word length.
Practical implications
Older working-age disabled veterans are being abandoned by the state and suffer due to a change in government social policy.
Social implications
Disregarding the suffering and preventable harm created in society by the ongoing welfare reforms will have consequences that will need to be addressed as a matter of urgency, as the often tragic consequences are eventually alerted to the public.
Originality/value
A demonstration that the older working-age disabled veterans are being harmed by welfare reforms and the armed forces covenant has been breached.
