  The SKA will be transformational for many areas of science, but in particular
for the study of neutron stars and their usage as tools for fundamental physics
in the form of radio pulsars. Since the last science case for the SKA, numerous
and unexpected advances have been made broadening the science goals even
further. With the design of SKA Phase 1 being finalised, it is time to confront
the new knowledge in this field, with the prospects promised by this exciting
new telescope. While technically challenging, we can build our expectations on
recent discoveries and technical developments that have reinforced our previous
science goals.
