Left the UN last year. No daily LOA to speak of. The UN pays the Governement, who I understand (Probably a good rumour), keep the lions share of the cash. After 13 months with the UN I got approximately £500.00 one off payment when I left. Something like US $2.25 a day.

I did get LSSA though, (I think its called something else now), which as a WO, equated to about £350.00 a month.

Cyprus is not cheap either my friend. Any extra beer tokens you earn, you are likely to need.

It's about 80 Cyp pence to the UK pound.

If you are with the UN in Nickosia you will be on about £600 a month.

TA, I don't know.
