I'm about to start an extended period working away from my parent unit. I will be slightly more than 50 miles, 1 hour 20 min drive away and am being told that I will have to commute this distance using my own vehicle. I'm not happy with this and would prefer accom but not having any access to JSP's I can't argue the point. If anyone knows the regs on this type of thing please let me know.
Thanks

I thought the cut off was 50 miles - have you checked autoroute for exact mileage as that what PSF will use.

Also depends if you are single or married.

One bonus is all that HTD!
 
Thanks Billy.
Is that 50 miles from parent station or RWA?
Do you know the ref for this?
What difference does married or single make?

Not sure of the rules only that when I moved to Bristol, I was told i was entitled to a hiring if I were single and work was over 10 miles from my RWA!

Also, cos of parking issues, a timing of 90 mins on public transport (despite living only 34 miles from my work place) would allow a hiring in lieu of no single accomodation too.

I'm not admin, but it would appear from what little I have gleaned from my last move is that your cirumstances should allow other options than just a simple case of commuting daily.

Best bet is either wait for someone more Admin to come up with the actual reference or query again with your PSF and get them to quote the Regs.

Sell your car (£5.00 should do it) to a sibling / parent and tell the RAF you don't have personal transport.
