If you're living in chap, what I would suggest you are looking for is Get You Home (mileage) (GYH(M)) which is designed to allow those with a privately maintained property/family some distance away from their posting to go home twice a month. It's a daily rate based on the mileage you would drive, and is a fairly decent contribution. If you're in receipt of this you shouldnt be paying accn, but will have to pay for your food. Not sure what the deal is on reduced rate, but believe that might have been pre-JPA....
