Here's a question for those that really like to get stuck in the regulations:
Given that JSP 756 defines Duty personnel as:
Those who are members of a unit or organisationâs Duty Staff for a period of at least twenty-four hours and as a result are required to sleep in accommodation specifically allocated for this task. Such personnel are deemed to have a ânight out of bedâ at their RWA. Those whose duty is on call and not absent overnight from their RWA are not eligible for the award of duty SS.
Do you think this means if you are on a sleep in Duty, you do, or do not have an entitlement to claim IE, given that "IE are designed to cover necessary personal incidental expenses actually incurred when an overnight absence in a hotel or temporary Service single accommodation is occupied."
My thoughts, as always, remain in favour of the soldier/officer, but I am intrigued as to opinion of the Guru's out there.
