Taxable Benefits?? WTF!!!!

[ArmyGuy99]

The government highlights how it is pumping $2 billion in additional benefits for the most severely injured, yet downplays the fact it is spread over 50 years. The replacement of life-time, guaranteed pensions with a mixture of lump-sum payments and transitional benefits, as well as the newly-introduced taxation of those benefits, also grate against ex-soldiers.

Ok does anyone know what they're talking about?? I read this this morning, and I can't find anything else on it.  I thaught all our benefits were supposed to be tax free.
