Oh yes!
You are certainly entitled to ELC's (as long as you have already registered) and you will also be able to claim ELCs for some years after you have departed for greener grass. I can't remember the detail but it's an unusually good deal.
You'll also be pleased to know that after PVR you will also qualify for GRT (Graduated Resettlement Time) which varies with years service but 8+yrs = 25 days, 12+yrs = 30 days.
The admin clerks just love digging all this stuff out. There can be an element of 'if you don't know what you're entitled to then I'm not telling you' but the one I spoke to was very helpful. I'm sure you'll be paying yours a visit when he/she's back at work!
Hope I've cheered you up!!
