Commonwealth and Allied Veterans not recognised after Vietnam

Persons who served in the forces of Commonwealth and Allied Countries after 11 January 1973 are not recognised as veterans under the VEA and are thus not entitled to service pension in respect of service in any conflicts since that date.  The date 11 January 1973 is the end of the period of hostilities that relates to the Vietnam war.
