I'm putting it on here hoping someone can help, last time i put the question on armynet they actually contacted my regiment and i was hauled in and given a dressing down.
ok, yet again boarding school allowance not paid, jpa said next run will be 7 october, this means again allowance to school late and therefore 10% late charges applied to next term and we bear the costs.
also travel to and from airport we have been told we are entitled to claim that for our daughter but when we enquire we were told tuff.
since our posting last year we havent had our 25% ciloct discount so a year of that is owed, every time we put in the forms they discard them.
anyone help?
wife put in a complaint to our CO and i was threatened with being charged because of it.

I would suggest that you:
Ask for a meeting with your RAO.
Get your wife to speak to the local AFF Rep.
Speak to your unit welfare officer
One of them should be able to help.:jI am an Employment Law Paralegal and an experienced Human Resources Manager and offer my guidance as simply that ... guidance :j0 -
spoke to welfare they fobbed us off, wife asked for meeting with rao was told no, wife wrote letter of complaint and i was threatened being charged.
AFF rep is useless tried them aswell,

I am a little confused. Ciloct is a charge in lue of council tax, if the two of you are living in the quater then you will pay 100% Ciloct....I was not aware that they could discount this.Proud to have dealt with our debtsStarting debt 2005 £65.7K.

Hi strong96,
AFF is keen to assist families find information to resolve their issues. Without knowing the full background to this case it is difficult to surmise if the information that you have been given is correct. We would like to know which Coordinator you contacted and why you feel their help was not valuable. Please contact [EMAIL="us@aff.org.uk"]us@aff.org.uk[/EMAIL] so that we can investigate your case further.
Kind regards,

The CEA window always opens in plenty time on JPA and the deadlines are always shown on the JPA portal. If you are missing these key dates, and incurring late charges, then that is your own fault.0

As regards to the RAO, redress them. If anyone threatens to charge you because of what your wife may say, redress them. They'll soon get the hint that its easier just to deal with you than ignore you.
Saying that, it just sums up the Army Admin corp and Glasgow - but we all knew that already.30th June 2021 completely debt free…. Downsized, reduced working hours and living the dream.0 -
just had to plead with school not to give late charges again because as of today we are still waiting on the boarding school allownace to be paid0
