e-petition Responsible department: Ministry of Defence , National Defence Medal

It is totally unfair that the British Government and the British Crown has awarded the National Defence Medal to the Australian and New Zealand military and ignored the British Military. The recent medal survey conducted by Sir John Holmes was in favour of the medal award to all past and present British Military and yet the Government have failed to act. They have acknowledged and issued medals to Bomber Command and the North Atlantic veterans. Where is the British justice that does not recognise those past and present military personnel that wore the Kings/Queens uniform with pride and were prepare to die for our freedoms. I ask the Government to act NOW and treat the British exactly the same as the Australians and New Zealanders by awarding the National Defence Medal to the British Military past and present  Sign petition  HERE

E-petition, The Government should add Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to the DWP's list of Disabilities.

Responsible department: Department for Work and Pensions.The DWP does not recognise Post Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD] as a Disability for the purpose of Assessments. In the light of recent high profile cases the Government should address this failure of duty of care to Victims.
The Government should therefore:
• Acknowledge the effects of severe trauma on serving military personnel .
•Recognise that victims of Child Abuse, whether sexual, emotional or physical , has profound and long lasting traumatic effect on victims lives, which may not present themselves until later in life
•Recognise the effects on Adults and Child Survivors of witnessing traumatic events , both man-made and natural disasters (Hillsborough, Bombings, Murder of a relative, Tsunami , Earthquakes. )
The Government should instruct the DWP and Dept of Health to add PTSD to its list of Disabilities for the purpose of assessment by internal and external departments. [Atos, Work Programmes] Read more and sign petition  HERE
