This is a true story and relates to a post about ex Armed Forces and housing. Some of us have also served in the armed forces. I am one of 125 MoD caretakers across the UK and NI. We work at Army Reserve and UOTC centres. All of us have to live in tied accommodation that comes as part of our employment. The 125 of us will be made redundant on the 31st of March 2027. This is not a personal choice; we are part of the MoD's 10% cost-saving cuts. We are the lowest paid in the MoD; we earn less per annum than a 17-and-a-half-year-old in basic training in the Army. Some of us have served for decades. Yet we are committed and steadfast in maintaining the operational security and effectiveness of the Reserves Centres that we work at and in some cases manage. When we are made redundant, our tied accommodation must be emptied and ready to hand over by the 31st of March. We and our families are not entitled to be rehomed. Again, this is not our choice; this action is being forced on us after years and decades of dedicated service to the MoD, the Army, and the our Country. This is a life-changing event for us all. There is a lack of information, and as each week counts down to March, the stress on us all and our families increases. Yet, here in the UK, we have not only non-taxpayers but also people who are in our country illegally being given new priority housing. Nobody is interested in our story or wants to help, and the media, with ethe exception of (The Scotsman) either do not want to report on or publish our story, or the information they are relating to is incorrect. This is a true story and relates to UK tax paying nationals. Some of us have also served in the armed forces, and at least one of us is currently on Operational Tour, and will not be back in the UK by March 31st. 🤬🤬🤬
