Claiming GYH(M)

[GOV1]

I am due to leave the RAF in Dec 15. I am claiming GYH (M), and my last day in work will be at the end of July 15 before taking resettlement, annual and terminal leave.

I will vacate my room in the Sgt’s mess before this date.

I have trawled through the JSP’s, but could not find the answer.

Question is “can I claim GYH (M) until my exit date?” Terminal leave starts 05/12/15.

Thanks & Regards

Unless its changed recently, this allowance stops for any period of non-annual leave in excess of 10 days, so for GRT, Terminal, the answer is "no". If you want to max out your entitlement, then you'd need to set your leave up so that all your annual is at the start of your leave.

Remember of course that you would probably have to return post resettlement to clear and submit final claims before turning left or right out of the camp gates.

And good luck in civvy st - its not that bad at all, once you get over the shock of buying socks!

Your GYH(M) will stop after your last day in work.

I'm sure I read that GYH(M) is being cut this year as part of the NEM, down to 4 months per year that you can claim.

I read somewhere that the earth is flat... Care to substantiate your rumour with a reference!?

Does that mean that if the OP leaves one day before his discharge date to be on duty in order to submit final claims and hand his ID card in, then he can get it for the whole period?

Its in the NEM, not my favourite bit of reading at the weekend away from work so there'll be no substantiating from this end

Unless you've been privy to something that has yet to be released it doesn't say that. The last official word on allowances from the Spring 15 NEM snapshot is:

Allowances:
• The Allowances/Expenses structure will be broadly the same as it is today, providing a range of targeted allowances to recognise certain aspects of Service activity (such as separation or deployment on operations) and support a degree of lifestyle choice.
• Where appropriate, work will continue to simplify allowances, and SP will continue to be compensated for expenses incurred in the course of their duty.
• Enhancements to the overseas offer will take effect from 1 Apr 15. The first set of these changes are to be implemented on 1 April and have been summarised in DIB2015/05. They are:
• Increased Disturbance Expense (DE) for overseas moves.
• Subsistence for travel on assignment in North West Europe (NWE)
(Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany and the Netherlands). • DE and Personal Effects Rates for Certain Single and Married
Unaccompanied Personnel.
• Double School Children’s Visit (SCV) entitlement for SP assigned overseas. • Duty Travel for Resettlement Training.
• Advance of Pay. SP who are permanently assigned overseas and are
eligible to receive an advance of pay in accordance with JSP754 will be entitled to receive an advance of up to four months net pay.

That's got to be bull.... For example, "here you go Cpl X, here's your promotion.... Now we are sending you to Lossiemouth. What's that? Your house is in Cornwall? Well, you'll only be entitled to allowances for 4 months out of the year! No, I'm afraid that is the only slot and if you don't go on promotion, service need dictates you will have to go as a Cpl"

Can't really see them chopping allowances as harshly as you have "read somewhere"

Then why not wait until you can cut and paste evidence you have seen on Monday? Or do you enjoy dropping little morale bombs as a hobby?

Myth 5: The changes to the model mean we are going to be paid less and our allowances are going to be stripped away whilst being asked to do more.

Changes are aimed at making the system more fair and transparent, not an exercise in stripping away allowances. And importantly they will address common complaints brought up with the AFPRB. The future pay model is still based around rank as the main factor in determining how much personnel are paid. All Ratings and Other Ranks, like officers, will be paid on a single rank based pay structure with additional pay being allocated through a pay supplement; the supplement’s value will depend on an individual’s Trade and will apply throughout their career. We will remove the complex High and Low pay banding approach which is a current source of frustration for many personnel who experience movement up and down the pay bands throughout their career. The new pay model will remove pay overlap between ranks, and distinguish rewards between Trades more effectively than the current model.

Quote from Adjutant General, Lt General Gerald Berragan CB:

“The NEM is looking at a new pay model that will address the common complaints with Pay 2000 and deliver a simpler and fairer pay structure. The pay budget will be used more efficiently to support the Armed Forces, but there is no intention to deliver savings. Equally, the NEM will not strip away allowances, or cut the rate at which they are paid. But the current range of allowances is complex and difficult to understand. What is required is simplification and consolidation, such that people can be clearer about what they can claim and when. This also will cut down on incorrect claims.The first step is to separate out expenses - in other words, reimbursement for expenditure incurred in support of discharging a duty. Then we need to consolidate the other allowances, ensuring that they are better targeted, harmonised tri-Service, and they better support individual lifestyle choice (single, married, partners). These changes are about simpler, more focused allowances, delivered more efficiently, not savings.”

Retargetting sounds so much better that stripping away.

a) This is a rumour site

b) JSP752 chap 5.0508 para d. GYH(M) has gone and is now encompassed into GYH(T) under the heading PMP (privately maintained property).

c) I have a particular interest in this as I'm losing out on nearly 2k a year hence my insight into it without the references.

Yes, it is a rumour site but it's always nice to follow up with facts in the post....

I read the reference and found that it will affect those personnel who are PStat Cat 1 and 2 who occupy SFA when at their duty station.

Sorry to hear it affects you and a fair chunk of other people out there. May lead to further PVRs.....
