One helpful individual in the queue at Barclays yesterday suggested #VeteransCard could be used to 'chop up Charlie'. He followed it by putting a finger on a nostril & sniffing with the other nostril. It would be easy to tut about "the youth of today" had he not been at least 70
Day 2 Reporting from the Veterans Card Challenge:
Attended Barclays. Was told that Military ID was sufficient for Photo ID, however the Veterans Card was not classed as a Military ID.
That's surely the point that needs addressing.
The online application requires no ID if
you are on the electoral role... and have a credit record associated with the home address. Two issues that are traditionally an issue if eg. Released from custody, been homeless, recovering from addiction, debt ... you could go on...
Any veteran business owners or those thinking about starting one (if you're on the list, you've had your links sent through to claim your free year of hosting and revamp of your website)..join the WhatsApp Group, introduce yourself, say what business you have, post your links etc
DAY1:
What can I do with my Veterans Card?
SCENARIO 1.
Soldier A becomes Veteran A.
Veteran A ends up with no bank account, no ID & no money. But he has a Veterans Card.
Halifax Bank: Open account 👎
Tomorrow I will report my findings at 5 other High Street Banks.
Follow @ukPTSD for a link to my BLOG when I publish on Friday. Im going to carry these tasks out as if they were genuine situations, report on how individuals themselves treated me (not just institutions - i'd know that from websites). Detailed accounts and stories as they happen
Veterans Card - What can I do with it?
What practical uses does the card have?
If the answer is 'not many' then the next question is: How do we go about changing that?
Every day I will be testing in the real world exactly what i can and cannot do with my Veterans Card.
I have just been reading about the Veterans Card that are few and far between... despite 1.8m veterans in England & Wales alone, only 56,000 have been distributed. I noticed at the same time they had time to form a Central Digital Data Office in early 2021. Sounds Orwellian
Hi I'm Tanya, I run the PTSD Project. Bare with me it's a long one, but worth the read. We're the only good cause I've seen using a live ID Verification system to reassure the public we are genuine. We're also all volunteers. 30 veterans give their time on the VIC Line.
