After 19 yrs the naive little boy in me is still surprised at ridiculous service paperwork 
;
A very simple resettlement course 3 days requires minimum of 5 forms and >12 signatures to get the princely sum of £534 + accom ...
1. Request to do resettlement cse - 7 sigs
2. Request for accom - 2 sigs
3. Authority to attend cse (needs sig from cse provider) - 3 sigs
4. Confirmation of cse attended (at end of cse, to prove attendance!) - 2 sigs
5. Reclaim of resettlement grant - NO, they don't pay direct
... and if you don't feel like paying the cash yourself, you can apply for an advance. Obviously not the WHOLE £534
, it's the usual max 80% now and claim the rest later! On a sixth bl00dy form!
AND let's not forget the JPA claim for travel to and from the accom on return ...
Last rant
- apparently, THIS is the
NEW freakin system - the last one was rubbish ??!!!
What a load of
BS !?! Thankfully, not for much longer!
ps. Have fun with the next round of defence cuts ....
