scottswald

Though you need to wash your uniform at home, you don't get it if you leave your uniform at work and get it back clean.

If it's the £3 per week that you can claim back from Inland Revenue - it is backdatable for 6 years as well.....still have to get mine in for 'working from home'.....

is there is a list of benefits or something to check if there is anything im entitled to? im guessing not as i work full time and have no kids....

wow... I have never heard of this!?!? Does this mean I can contact my tax office and claim money back for the past 6 years of clothes washing, even though I do not work at the moment???? (sorry to hijack thread op!)

Was a uniform, I washed it myself and would have 4 years of this! So would they backdate it and give me a lump sum?

It would cost you a letter and the price of a stamp to find out!
