No, you are quite right. You cannot claim from home to your normal place of work as a civilian. I believe the military has a get out clause.

"You look at your claims history on JPA - Its nothing to do with HR as this is between you and the tax office"
"It can (and should) all be done by you - just needs a bit of time and effort on your part"
Gee thanks for that piece of really helpful advice, I would never have thought of looking on JPA first myself before asking for help.
You aren't my auditor are you?? ?
As I said in my original post about looking on JPA, "That was the first thing I tried and it came up with nothing". According to JPA, when I select 'Expenses, All Expenses, Go' I haven't made a single claim in the past 6 years hence my original question.
Edited to add, having, spoken to JPAC, they have since confirmed that I cannot access my claims history as only HR / Auditors have
those permissions.

Put a DPA request in then they legally have to provide you the details you require, they are allowed to make a small charge to provide the information

I assure you, you can. Log on and go to JPA Expenses (which we all have). From there, you can access all your historical claims. It took me about an hour to go through them, work out what I'd claimed and then write the figures down on the HMRC Claim form. I might be TG17, but Olliepop isnt, and she managed to do it without involving an adminer. The only help I gave her was the address to send the claim!
As I said before, its feck all to do with HR to check all your claim history unless its part of an official audit. If you really really cant be ar$ed to do it yourself, maybe offer to pay an adminer to do the work for you - obviously not in his/her work time. £25 should be enough.

Aye cheers for that... Still waiting...Although, received a letter in January saying they had appointed someone to look into it.
Hopefully we will be a few more pence in pocket soon.Melchett01 yes it should work for everyone. I am a techy not admin and a complete admin/JPA mong. But, seemed to work ok on my JPA. Good luck.
Sorry, just read entire post and saw that it didn't work for you... Like I said, I am an admin mong. So, can't help further.. Sorry. Hopefully you will get your answer soon.

Well I logged into JPA today and went to expenses, search expenses and clicked go. Went through all of my claims sinces 1st Apr 2006 printed them all off. Some of them have the miles I claimed for on and some dont so I had to work it out which I did by dividing the claim by 26.2p. Filled in the form and works out they should owe me about £350. Happy days!! So I sent them all the copies of the JPA stuff and have put the PW in the post to them this evening. Will wait out and keep my fingers crossed. £350 isn't to be laughed at is it. Hell I'd of claimed for £35. Thanks to OP.

Me too, but I did phone them on Tuesday and they confirmed they had received it on 29 December. They work through stuff in date-received order and the guy I spoke to said they were actioning stuff from 14 December at present.
Hopefully in a couple of weeks, we will both be celebrating!

Thanks for the replies thus far. Unfortunately, I definitely can't see any historical claims on JPA, and that was even sitting on the phone talking to JPAC with the expenses screen up at the time. They were adamant that as a normal non-Admin, non-Auditor type I don't have the permissions to do it and have to go through Admin.
It's not so much of a drama as I have all the dates of my journeys and locations in my diaries - I can work it out if I could get the historical MMA rates which was the other part to the problem because JSP 752 has been updated so that even the old editions aren't visible on Google. If anybody knows the MMA rates that would be really helpful - Im more than happy to crunch the numbers myself rather than going through the rigmarole of FOI requests.

Sorry you have had no luck Melchett01. I think that the MMA was 25p a mile. But I think that you can find this out by checking on the intranet..... Ooh just checked online and it is JSP 752. It gives you all the info on expenses including MMA. Tried doing a link but didn't/still won't work.
RAF bird fingers crossed. Like you said I would have claimed too even if it had only been a few quid. Better in our pocket than theirs!!

Tax Refund - UPDATE!
Tax Refund - UPDATE!
It wasnt a couple of weeks, but today I received a cheque from HMRC for £316.33. Not bad for a couple of hours' filling in forms!

I've looked at the form, and being a bit of a tax mong can you clarify? Are you claiming 45p per mile? Or the difference between the PCR rate and 45p?
What is it that you're actually claiming back? And this isn't for HTD right, just MMA?
And am I correct that you can claim hotel costs for courses too?

Its the difference. And it was not for HDT. My claim has been back & forth for amendments as HMRC told me I couldnt claim for courses or Med Appts, which brought my claim down substantially.
That said, £316.33 was a nice surprise!

The vast majority of my MMA claims dated back to 2006 when I was at Colt and was travelling to Marham, High Wycombe, Coningsby, Cottesmore etc for duty reasons to either do with the closure of the base, transfer of assets or my posting (we didnt have much MT left at that point). Since then the only claims I managed to get past HMRC were for pre-deployment briefings/meetings at High Wycombe and Marham/Waddo, and the three occasions when I had to travel to the MOD Medal Office at short notice to pick up the Sqn's Op HERRICK medals for issue by a 2* the next day!
