The clue's in the J of JPA... our dark blue and green bretheren are aboard now.
On a positive note - realising that this approach doesn't usually meet with approval here - pre-JPA it regularly took 3 or 4 weeks to pay a T&S claim, my last 4 have taken 4 working days from generating the claim to it being paid into my account.
Quite. And, notwithstanding everyone whingeing about doing things on the desktop, I find it easier to enter claims online than on a 1771 (though I accept the old system of just writing where you'd been and what you'd done and letting an expert work out what you were entitled to had definite advantages). The facility to have your pay split between diferent accounts has definite advantages as well.
Edit: Damn, beaten to it. That's what you get for taking time to say nice things about JPA.
