Disturbance Allowance
I got it slightly wrong yeaterday.
Disturbace Allowance, under JPA, will irrespective of rank, but will vary by the type, not the size of the property being moved to:
Privately-owned £1650
Privately-Rented and SFA/ssfa £969
SLA/SSLA £75
Extra child element for each eligible child £130
Unmarried personnel will have the same entitlement as married.
These rates will apply to each Service from their respective single service roll-out date for JPA.
Personnel setting up home for the first time since joining the Service will now be eligible to claim DA.
Those moving in mid-assignment into SFA will now have a higher rate of DA than previously.
Those moving in mid-assignment into SLA will be eligible for DA for the first time.
What will vary according to the size of the accommodation, rather than its type, are the relevant removals/storage allowances (Movement and storage of Personal Effects (PE) - JSP 752 Chap 7 Sect 2).

Provided the princely sum of £75 for singlies isn't supposed to replace the 'DIY Removals Capped Actuals' (TM) of £120ish max. Otherwise it's a loss for the singlies again, but I'm sure nobody would abuse those without a voice...

"Movement and Storage of PE" replaces Household removals, Unaccompanied Baggage and Storage. It is no longer related to rank or PStatCat (that's Marital status to you Beagle!). Single personnel moving into private accommodation will no longer need to have completed 3 years service to be eligible for removals and unaccompanied baggage (UB). Rates of UB will be replaced by a volumetric allowance based on the accommodation type and number of bedrooms (or rooms in the case of SLA).
The new PE Regs will apply to all 3 Services simultaneously from the date of RAF Roll-Out of JPA.

'PStatCat' - what wunnerful PC-speak!
Still, it would seem that things are rather better than was first reported.
When my personal effects would no longer fit inside an Opel Manta, it cost a fair bit to have them moved, stored, then delivered from Suffolk to British West Oxfordshire. For which I recived no financial assistance from the RAF, of course.
At least now people seem to be being given a reasonable removal allowance. That is, of course, assuming that they can actually afford private housing in this neck of the woods.

Nothing this afternoon with a stationwide power failure.
Which was dissapointing as I was trying to do my personal admin during the poor weather as AdminGuru suggests in another thread.
Still at least for now I could submit claims and leave passes through the mail.
Roll-on total automation and reliance on computors.

If you find the elearning too slow you can use the navigation buttons next to the slider and click it on to the next step, much like a DVD player. This will speed it up. Remember, the idea of hosting it on DLP is so that the CRM wizardry can monitor your usage and time spent learning. The JPAC EC will have that info made available to them, so if you try to cuff it off and say you have completed the e-learning, BIG BROTHER will know!!!

Anyone out there know anything about this one?
All the bumf regarding LSSA/LSSB/LSA says that LSSB is to be carried over to LSA at a rate of 60%. Great for those of us with a little time in a different uniform under our belts. Or so I thought. Innsworth now saying that as LSSA didn't come in til '98, only LSSB qualified for since then will be counted.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Advice?
Tks in advance

Service charge/tips
Hi all,
I, like many others, have been following the threads on JPA and have found the information rather more pertinent than many official sources (my thanks to all the contributors).
I have however, recently returned from a trip abroad and have a nagging question I would like to pose. On several occasions (duty taxi fares, eating out etc) I have included in the cost, an element of ‘Service Charge’ or ‘Tip’, usually around the 10/15% mark.
Although it’s a long time ago since I last travelled abroad, I seem to remember there has always been some sort of recompense available for these ‘additional’ payments when claiming back via the F1771 route.
Would JPA allow for these ‘Service Charges’ bearing in mind that many ‘Tips’, in some countries, are expected and are not optional?

If they can't get my DoB right and who I work for, then god only knows what will happen to the rest of my data ..... too much to hope that I'll end up on ACM pay or level 14 LSA by mistake!

Unless you work in PSF (oops - HR Admin), you won't be able to log on until 3 Apr at the earliest. Most people can expect to log on between 3-10 Apr. This is - apparantly - so that HR Admin and a dedicated change team at Southwick Park can migrate all the data across, including inputs for people who move about during this transition period. Wait and see how well THAT works...

Well, since I started this thread (a few months ago) I notice that JPA has upset a few people.
It is a shame that many people in the mob (and on this site) could not see the problems coming untill it hits them in the face.
It seems to happen far too often these days.
But I have no doubt that you will slag an old Chief Tech like me off.
We know F%$K all - these days.
