Why do you have to pay for a Veterans Recognition Card when you get the official discount scheme for free, why do you have to pay £12.50 every year to prove your a Veteran. This is a private company making money from Veterans.

Try the official discount scheme for serving and veterans, its free and you wont have to pay for a veterans card every year. Why would you have to prove your a veterans every year anyway.
