The password hasn't changed.
Having this morning booked a Club World flight to the USA for November I found the discount worked fine vs the 'normal' BA fare.
Have you cleared your cookies/browsing history etc between searches on the the 'normal' BA website and searches on the discounted website - if not this can sometimes affect the displayed fares on the discounted website as it remembers the normal BA fares?

(also going in November so I guess we can rule out a date cut off)Perhaps certain routes are now excluded

"Basic" fares don't get a discount, and never have done, it needs to be either a ticket with baggage or WTP and above. Also AA (etc) operated services. Sometimes playing around with MAN/NCL/GLA/INV start points triggers a fare which is lower than Basic.

As the BA offer details have again disappeared from the DDS website and app (BA is still listed on DDS but without details included - it just shows 'no offers available'), I will contact you later via PM. The offer on DDS was promulgated to expire on 1st June 2022 - hence it seems to have expired - yet again!
I will raise this issue with DDS directly and also via the veterans chain of command as it is still a live Armed Forces Corporate Covenant commitment.
For those who heeded my previous advise on this thread to bookmark the direct link and note the password, the BA offer is still live and working.

I love this bit from Virgin's military discount T&Cs "or the last 4 digits of your Service Number, found on your MOD90." If you need to check your MoD90 for your service number you must still be in week 1 of basic training

Hi all, realising I'm coming back to this message in 2022 I figured DDS links/passwords have changed. Still no sign of BA on the DDS app, although I have raised a ticket to check. If anyone has a password that is working (the link still works for me), I'd be grateful if you're able to share this - many thanks.
