He will spend sooooo long trying to get a military pension by the time they decide he has a claim he will be too old to benefit and it will get taxed - hopefully 
My dad has a war pension.
He still doesn't know how he got it to this day. It started when he was going deaf at the end of his Police career. The Police sent him for a hearing test and the consultant asked him about his family history. True, Auntie Beat' went deaf and so was my Gran's mother at a young age. He saw dad was serving on Christmas Island during the Atom bomb test in 1958. Dad told him he was there for 2 tests and he was working in the offices for the engineers testing the Rolls Royce aircraft engines.
Next thing he knew was a letter from London saying he was getting a pension for neglect of care by the RAF. The consultant decided he would write to the RAF and complain my dad was given no hearing protection during his service and this he believed had brought about premature hearing loss.
The answer appears if you make a claim yourself, it will get ignored, even if you go to a doctor and ask for a letter. Don't ask the doctor and he appeals on your behalf....and it gets approved!
