Blimey...had my first experience with JPA yesterday (as now on terminal leave).
Paychit finally received, only a couple of hundred short of what it should be
Then came the fun trying to get a mileage claim for a hospital appointment using my own car...Presumably i should have filled the tank up before setting off and then refilled it on returning to unit, presenting the receipt to prove that i actually spent money on fuel?? And is there any way of factoring in the other elements that used to combine to make our (exceedingly generous) mileage rate?? And just as a matter of interest, do MOD civilians still get a mileage rate per mile or are they also stuck with this time consuming and convoluted system??
Next time (if there is time for one) i shall now doubtless get MT to hire me a car. Im sure that will save the RAF money compared to paying a mileage rate...
Glad to be leaving although its a bit worrying that JPAC now also seem to be involved in pensions side. Whats the betting that they wont have actioned my request for maximum commutation????
edit : I see theres a bit in the latest issue of Private Eye about JPA
