Some stuff in there that will save some money, or increase money for people. I'm a bit miffed that my Dad can't take advantage of the government paid tuition fees as he's been out too long. Good news is that I might get a little more compensation for my injury. I hope more people out there will find stuff in it to help them.

hopefully you may get more compensation but for those of us still in can't say I am impressed. Doesn't offer me anything really.

I think it's only really helpful to veteran's or injured people that stuff. It's a shame that there isn't more to help people still in.

I'm technically still in until the autumn, but my resettlement period is almost over so I can start my new job fairly soon.

It is too little, too late for many unfortunately.

Not really much for veterans injured pre 2005 who come under the War Pension Scheme either.

It's just a load of spin people....

Take the free university....all it is a rehash of the ELC scheme we are all already in....

Smoke and mirrors....

Mmmm, well written but a load of old tosh, its the same old promises re-written to sound better, but will it deliver? Probably not in the way it is supposed to.

Very sceptical of anything the government brings out anyway, but they pay lip service to the armed forces and there is never anything that will truly benefit all in this, it is a bit disappointing, but not a surprise in any way.
