39 days to go
I am now 101 days in to my det with 39 left to go. Have I been paid my LSA/LSSA/whatever the hell its now called? Hell no!
What have I done about it I hear you all asking. Apart from having the Army Sgt Maj, RN Cpt and Army Brigadier ringing the UK every week since I have been here, not a lot. We were all assured that the allowances had been put in to the system and it should turn up in my account in my next pay packet. Hmm, still no money.
Ah, so now the only person who can access my JPA account is me over the phone. So I do this to be told, once I conveyed to the (not too bothered) civvy which allowance I was talking about, it will take 10 days to find out what is going on.
"10 days?" says I - "Well I have lasted 100 without being paid so 10 more won't make a huge difference." Water off a duck's back I tell thee.
No idea if my letter of complaint signed by a 1 star will help or not but its worth a try.
Oh, and incase I didn't say, 100 days worth of allowances here is 3,700 pounds.
