    Who gets 650 quid a month? My mum gets less than that. If you are talking about ex-soldiers, they also get the state pension.

    Agreed.

    For which they paid Natioanl Insurance.

    The Gurkhas do not pay National Insurance, and yet i would fight for them to get the State Pension too in this country

    If they have provided the service, which they have, they should get the appropriate payment. The same as anyone else. Same rules, without fear or favour.

    It shouldn't be some sort of equivalence thing. It should not be dependent on where they live. They should get £x, the same as anyone else who has provided the same service.

    They should also get it where they want. When I collect my pension I will expect it to be paid into the bank account of my choice, on a monthly basis. Where I chose to live at the time is a matter for me.

    They should also be offered UK citizenship "on the nod".
