This national service proposal has really got me thinking about the perceptions people have (particularly older people, and even more so those from a more privileged background) of young people. This perception that they don't care, aren't engaged with community, don't 'lean in' to society. The undertone that it's their own fault that they're struggling with the largest mental health crisis we've ever seen. That if they just got out of the house and 'did something for others', they'd feel so much better. That ALL THIS is somehow our CHILDREN'S fault. So naturally, forcing them to 'volunteer' (oh, the irony) is a great solution... Let's step back. There are about 720,000 18 year olds in the UK. 84% are in some form of education, employment or training. 35% are specifically at university (of which about 50% ALSO hold down a job). And about 10% of them have caring responsibilities. Can you imagine if, on top of holding down a job, caring for a parent or sibling (in lieu of a broken care system and extortionate childcare), getting yourself through a training scheme, going to uni (whilst ALSO working, and running up debt), you were forced to spend one weekend in four, volunteering? Just think about it. Imagine in YOUR hectic life, where you're trying to make ends meet, care for others, develop yourself, and God forbid have some fun, the government suddenly says you had to spend one weekend in four volunteering? A government, by the way that you definitely haven't voted for. Because you were too young to have a say. So who is this aimed at? The 16% of 18 year olds who are not in education, employment or training, a large proportion of whom are unpaid carers, or in zero hours jobs trying to make ends meet? Or the 84% already in work, in education, in training? Our young people are struggling to find their way in our society because WE HAVE EXPLICITLY ENGINEERED THEM OUT. We took away £1.1b of youth funding and stood by as the high streets died, whilst giving tax breaks and bottomless funding to eager tech platforms that profit from their misery. We told them we don't want them. That they loiter, cause crime, that they're intimidating. We share photos of them on nosey-neighbour 'community' groups with shouty headlines like 'DOES ANYONE KNOW THIS BOY'. We left them with nowhere to go to be together, no way of learning how to navigate society and of forming the next generation of our communities IRL. The mental health crisis this generation are suffering is NOT their fault. And forcing them to volunteer every fourth weekend will not repair the damage done by the teenage years we have consigned them to, spent living their lives through a screen. But I suspect, if you didn't spend your late teens caring for parents or siblings, whilst holding down a job whilst also trying to train, or do a degree, and desperately staving off mounting debt, one weekend in four volunteering sounds like an excellent idea. #IRLrevolution #youtheconomy

Following on from a question that was posed at the Association's AGM regarding British veteran cards being issued to overseas residents, the below advice has recently been posted to the MoD website. -------------- An HM Armed Forces Veteran Card is a way to prove that you served in the UK armed forces. The card can make it quicker and easier to apply for support as a veteran. It’s free to apply. You can currently only apply for a Veteran Card if you have a UK address. Veterans who do not have a UK address will be able to apply later this year. Check what you can do with a Veteran Card : https://lnkd.in/eJFK3Mk6 Who can get an HM Armed Forces Veteran Card?

I'm not sure why any service member would NEED any extra motivators to file their VA Disability claim during the #militarytransition, but if you're one of the few who does...here's a WHOLE BUNCH of 'em! 😃 Fun fact, in the event you receive a service-connected rating from the VA, there are additional benefits that you may qualify for based on that rating known as "derivatives". 🤔 I'll share a few of my favorites real quick: 💥 10-point Veteran preference in Federal hiring. 💥 Waiver of VA funding fee for VA home loan 💥 Vocational Rehabilitation & Employment 💥 No cost health care and prescription meds for service-connected disabilities 💥 Concurrent receipt of VA Disability and Military Retirement pay (above 50%) 💥 No cost dental care....trust me, that's a BIG one 🦷 And those are just some of the additional federal benefits...you'll have to go look up the STATE benefits on your own for now (don't worry, I'm working on something for that). If you want to see the full list, check out the link at the bottom of this post. ⬇️ Of course in order to take advantage of any of those benefits, you have to file your claim...so don't be that guy who's "not gonna be that guy". 👎 👉 Follow me for more insights into VA Disability, SBP, VGLI, TSP, and Military Transition.
