- Providing financial support for weekly commuters who are maintaining a primary home elsewhere irrespective of age or marital status.
Errr what does that mean? Having seen suggestions on the level of financial support offered as part of the new model at Wittering (via the Benefits Calculator), where you can get support to live in the community, the level of support on offer didn’t even cover the rent on a non-policy compliant bedsit in the crappy end of Peterborough let alone anywhere you didn’t have to share with cockroaches.
If you can prove you are weekly commuting from a permanent family home to a place of duty, irrespective of how you define family, then you shouldn’t been paying SLA charges. It’s that simple, and that’s the only thing they need to do here. If they can wheel out support for just about every other demographic going then they should be able to support one of their other main demographics. Especially if they are also wanting to encourage home ownership.
