LSA quirey
Help
Could somebody who is in the know advise me on my issue:

I have been promoted to Sgt and have moved out of the JNCO accomidation, i am Single living in.

I have not been posted as i have been promoted in a PID at my duty station.

I will be detached to another unit, of which i have moved my belongings to the mess there for the next 4 months.

So therefore i have not got a room at my duty station.

Does this mean i am entitled to LSA as i cannot return to my duty station at weekends/periods of rest etc

Or because i got a room in the new mess, i wont be able to claim for it?

Also is there anything else i can claim for?

Your help would be much appriciated at my duty station is very small with no admin staff in work!

you will not get LSA, unless the detachment is in a different theatre

Has the Army become so bad that a Cpl promoted to Sgt has to ask for advice on arrse ?

Why not? I receive LSA when I'm at Headley Court and my quarter is only 90 mins drive away.

So you think i could get it Dingerr?

I don't know, I'm not the expert. I was merely pointing out that Danny_Dravot was not entirely correct with his answer.

Oh right cool, i need a expert! Surely this is the right place to get one!

get on Dii, look up JSP 752, check rules for LSA and if you have an honest belief that it applies to you bung in a claim to your CHRS (give me strength!!) explaining why you are putting it in, you will definitely get the right answer then!!!

IF you are paying for a room in your parent mess, then yes you can claim LSA, if you are assigned to the temporary unit, and not paying for your digs then i don't think you can. I think you can claim for travelling to and from your parent mess at weekends if thats where your official residence is. Go on rum ration or e-goat, the RAF and Navy clerks are all over what you can claim for, my experience with Army clerks is negative

AmmoSgt,

I know a lot of ATs are very intelligent but have little (or no) common sense, but you are taking the piss! How many threads have you got going asking this question?

I hope you have remembered enough of what you have been taught to work out which wire to cut.

Shiny.
