I am given to understand that, during these early days at least, if you are unable to produce receipts, you may be required to pay the money back, but on the other hand if you are prepared to self-certify, you may get away with it.
JPA doesn't exactly make it clear what you can or cannot claim for - neither is it easy to see from the forms exactly what information they want in support of the claim. Unless there were gross over-claiming, I suspect any Brief worth their salt would tear any prosecution case to pieces based on the current 'guidelines'.
Incidentally, my first ever JPA claim was called forward for audit and have never seen the paperwork since, so if I am audited again I have no records of my expenditure. ISTR this included an empty sandwhich packet as I was beeing particularly wary of the new system and didn't actually believe they wouldn't demand a receipt for items <£5. I believe this may no longer be the case at some units ... anyone clarify this?
