Now I know everyone puts over issues into a high interest account and doesn't spend it, however this is still insensitive timing what with the Christmas shopping to do etc.

Anybody surprised that disturbance allowance is now paid in monthly "pay runs" as against the within 3 days for most claims. Miss the pay run because you can't input outside the days to do and you end up not getting it until the end of the following month. Incur expense for a move but don't get it till later ! Where did I read that JPA would speed things up and make our allowances more accessible ?

The £200 mark sounds correct. We all had an email from a shiny in Fleet today stating that most of the RN had not paid enough Tax....pretty much all of us paid £200 short of what we would normally be expected to pay. E-Mail went on to state that the wonga would be recvered next month.

So Vec,
Your post seems to refer to something originally posted by ANAPROP regarding advances, or didn’t you read that far down. Your issue seems to be coincidental in that it’s the same amount of money. Spooky eh?
JPA works then..............................
NOT
PS Don't try to deny it.

To be fair, they've noticed it and reckon it'll be paid back in a suplementary pay run by the end of the month. I'm morre vexxed with whoever forgot to tick the box for my GHY for all of September; didn't turn up in October's slip, I spoke to PSF and they admitted the mistake, but it still hasn't appeared. It's a long way from the north end of the Empire to the Swindon college of knowledge, so a month's mileage basedallwance would be nice...

Taxed Disturbance Allowance

Credit to JPA (for once
) - they have delivered on the promise; I've just seen the notification that the incorrect tax will be repaid on payday at end of Nov.

And now the Marines in 'stan have to re-pay over-paid allowances. telegraph report
"The morale of Royal Marines serving on the front line in Afghanistan has plummeted after a £3,000 allowance was deducted from their wages following a "dreadful blunder" by Royal Navy administrators."
"A Navy spokesman said it was "regrettable" that an error had been made when pay chiefs had incorrectly made briefings on pay allowances two years ago.
The new system was designed to simplify allowances and ensured Navy personnel were treated in the same way as RAF and Army."

Thats not all......
As a former member of handbrake house I hoped that I'd be paid my final pay and gratuity for 15 years service no probs! Our survey said NO! The JPAC have taken £2500 off me, haven't paid my gratuity and are refusing to talk to me about it all! An advance for resettlement has gone for a burton and this callsign is now severly out of pocket!!!! Argh! This is all the thanks I get!

Just a heads up to all you folks trying to sort stuff about back pay thru your PSFs... had an issue with GYH for a few months now, handbrake finally sorted it and was confident the backpay would appear in November's packet. GYH for nov appeared, but not the arrears. Now appears that, with the RN joining the fray, the limit for JPA automatically working out what you should have been paid is Nov 1st. Anything else has to be submitted thru psf to JPAC

What a Surprise!!
I have not been paid!!! 1st RN pay run and no money, I shouldn't be surprised after the catalogue of farcical errors listed on this thread.
No Chrimbo in my house!! (only joking, I made sure cash flow situation could cover the inevitable)
Anyone else suffer the same?

Just to let you know so you can work to a timescale for perhaps when your probs may be ironed out I got paid correctly this month and with the flying pay I was owed...This is the first time since April it's happened and they even phoned me to tell me it was sorted which incidently was the first time I ever got a call back from my couple of dozen calls to them...
I suppose I should get all gushy now and praise them for finally getting it right in time for Christmas but lets face it, if I had a choice of systems/companies to pay me I would have changed suppliers in June when my faith of this system totally ran out.
In the event that you run to the same time path as me you'll be sorted by June 07...

Appalling that you had to 'put some money aside' - 'just in-case'. Get a Grip MoD - It is the year 2006, not 1845, why should the the most dedicated people in the UK be so utterly shafted! In this century, Technology transfers funds at the speed of light, why oh why does it take 6-9 months for glitches to be sorted!
