Defence Review 2025 – What It Means for Veterans

Introduction
The government’s Strategic Defence Review 2025 sets out the future of Britain’s Armed Forces. While much of the attention has focused on equipment, budgets, and deployments, there are also important implications for veterans.

Shifts in Defence Policy
The Review emphasises readiness, modernisation, and support for personnel. But as history shows, policy promises often fail to translate into long-term care for veterans.

Why Veterans Should Pay Attention
Changes in defence spending affect everything from medical provision to pensions. For those already living with service-related conditions like hearing loss, the Review is a reminder that welfare must remain central to defence policy.

Justice4Heroes’ Perspective
Our campaign exists because past reviews failed to protect veterans adequately. Pre-1987 leavers were left without the right to claim. Today, almost 18,000 people have signed our petition to change that. As the Defence Review looks forward, Justice4Heroes insists that the past must also be addressed.

Defence policy must serve both those in uniform and those who once were. Add your voice to ensure veterans are not left behind.
