Not sure if this still the case but you used to pay for your first and last move. The move from singlies into quarters being your first. No doubt Penfold may have the latest garb on this...

As yet another lucky tw@t who managed to get out under Tranche 3, and an ex-TG17 SNCO wallah to boot, I can confirm that you ain't gonna get any help with moving your goods and shackles from your current quarter to your new, civvy address. Under the same rules, you ain't gonna get Disturbance Allowance neither.

Sorry matey :PDT_Xtremez_21:
 
In my Humble opinion, I thought that those personnel who got redundancy, and whose last tour of duty was not met, were entitled to Removals & DA in the same way as anyone else whose LTOD was not achieved. Not PSF anymore so go and see your bods and check it out.
 
HS is correct - I seem to remember reading something about eligibility to DA & FRE for redundees. It might have been in the original redundancy DCI.
 
If TMB had applied for a last tour prior to applying for redundancy and that choice of last tour had not been met then disturbance allowance and furniture removals would normally apply. However, TMB would have had to have been in his last 4 years of his normal engagement to have applied for a last tour and so would (probably) not have been eligible for redundancy.

There was some special provision in the redundancy DCI (DCI RAF 39/04) for the payment of DA/FRE but if memory serves it applied only to those discharged from overseas locations who did not return to the UK for the last 3 months.

I don't agree with some aspects of this but again, I am working 'blind'. Personnel who gained redundancy were entitled to apply for LTOD postings which were unlikely to be met; subsequently, they were entitled to FRE & DA whether they were overseas or not. That was my understanding of the DCI, which I haven't got a copy of! TMB needs to check with his Admin bods to clarify but if the circumstances are right he could claim FRE & DA.

PS. Where the feck have you been TBJ? Good to see you're back!
 
Dear all

thanks for all your help.

It transpires that I should have applied for LTD but cos I was OOA (did not get back until Dec 07) and then went straight into podl/leave/resett/terminal leave etc did not do so.

Had I done do PMA would have classed me as (probably) failing to acheive LTD and therefore FRE and DA? would become entitled.

OK my next question is simple. Can I do this retrospectively. Should I be writing to PAC legacy as the regs this applies to are pre JPA (DCI 39/04). Tommo any words of advice (no swearing) as you were my drafter at the time.

Thanks in advance

I think you will find that you had to move before your last day of service even if you qualified. I also left on redundancy and looked into it very carefully I can assure you - but sadly, the timing didn't quite work out.

Off Topic I've been on Det on the other side of the pond with no access to t'interweb during the week and weekends were spent in Vegas so scrolling through 100s of threads wasn't top of my priority list. :PDT_Xtremez_31:

Btw if SSH says he will go out on the pi$$ with you don't believe him. He's married now!!
