A mate of mine at work ,who I now know to be a tad thrifty, told me today that you can claim for laundry costs for the last six years. Apparently you don't need receipts and it's £145 per year for a maximum of six years. That's £870 if you are entitled to the maximum!
All you have to do is write to the tax man quoting your National Insurance number and state that you have served in HMF since (enlistment date) and that you wish to claim your entitlement. There is a sample letter floating around Chicksands. We are entitled to claim because we're issued uniform, but not offered a free laundry service for it. I sent my claim off today. Has anybody else done this yet and actually got the money?
