Leaving entitlements

FloraMac

I will be leaving the RN after 30 yrs in Nov.
I understand via the JSP and Logs pers (who just look at the JSp and mumble) that as I have put in my notice, I am not entitled to any assistance moving back to my own home (apart from a warrant).
Even if this was a non pref draft and I had requested my home area (where the post was cut, which is why I moved), I still would not be entitled?

sounds about right these days - have you looked in JSP 752?

If you selected a LTD (Last Tour of Duty) move to the location where you intended to settle after discharge from the RN and your assignment authority rejected this due to no posts or because of the 'service need', then you should be entitled to a claim to help with your costs upon discharge as well as a final warrant!

JSP 752 has an entire chapter dedicated to LTD moves, and as far as I am aware (it's been a few weeks since I looked at that particular chapter)there is nothing in there saying you cannot claim beacuse you have handed in your notice.

I would suggest that before going to see your UPO again, you access the JSP 752 via the SPVA website JPA library and go to the LTD chapter within the 752 as it details all the regulations regarding entitlement's etc which you may be elegible to claim

I had a spare 5 minutes today, so here is the elegibility criteria - verbatim from JSP 752!

Service Personnel, who have formally expressed a preference for a FTOD (Final Tour of Duty) location, are elegible to claim DA and movement of PE under the provisions of this section to a SPR (selected place of residence) in the UK at any stage during their FTOD up to and including their final day of service, provided:

a. They are serving on what is expected to be the FTOD of a commission or engagement, which qualiifes for an immediate pension/early departure payment (but not gratuity); and

b. They are serving at a duty station more than 50 miles or 90 minutes travelling time from the location for which they expressed a first preference. This limit is waived in the case of Service personnel who are required to live close to their place of duty, or in public accommodation by virtue of their rank or appointment. This sub-paragraph does not apply to officers required, by virtue of their appointment to serve their FTOD accompanied, as they are exempt the requirement to specify an assignment preference; and

c. They have not made a previous claim under this section; and in addition;

d. The SP is serving accompanied and resides in a RWA (Residence at Work address); or

e. They are, if single, a householder or a homeowner; or

f. They are if single, required to occupy SFA by virtue of their rank or appointment and are a householder or homeowner; or

g. They have attenede a Medical Board and have recieved a date for discharge on medical grounds, and wil be in reciept of a pension on invaliding. Notwithstanding that due to circumstances beyond their control they may have recieved DA and movement of PE within the previous 6 months (see para 07.0408) they are entitled to DA and movement of PE at public expense. The remaining rules for elegibility apply. Under this sub paragraph, where a SP cnnot make a move to a SPR in the UK, prior to their final day in the service, a fully staffed ase is to be submitted to the Pay and Allowances Casework Cell (PACC) requesting an extension to the period of elegibility. All such cases must be submitted to the PACC before the SP's final day of service.

Proportionate Expenses. Notwithstanding the elegibility at para 07.0405 o(of JSP 752) SP not assigned to their preference area may relocate to an area in the UK, other then their preference area; and recive both DA and a contribution to the cost of the movement of PE;

a. If the distance between their place of duty and the SPR to which they relocate is less that that between their place of duty and their nominated preference area, their PE will be moved by Service arrangements.

b. If the distance between their palce of duty and the SPR to which they relocate is greater than that between their place of of duty and their nominated preference area, their PE will be moved y Service arrangements but the SP will be required to pay a contribution towards the overall cost. DSCOM will calculate this cost which will be the difference between the cost of the move to the SPR and the notional cost of a move to the nominated preference area. This amount will be recovered from the SP's salary using a Form F/MPV/709.

I hope this info helps!
