The Ministry of Defence has been accused of humiliating veterans by denying them access to a Financial Recognition Scheme designed to compensate for the loss of military careers under old rules banning homosexuality.
Steven Stewart and Mark Shephard were investigated by military police officers and say they were forced to quit their careers because of their perceived sexualities in the 1990s.
But under eligibility rules to the scheme, the men have been denied awards because the MOD views their discharges from the Armed Forces as being voluntary in nature.
