Question on behalf of a friend of a friend; she's on a wait list for an operation but hubby is due posting and they are in receipt of CEA. If the new posting is too far to have the operation at the current hospital can a case be made to retain the MQ and hubby to go unaccompanied until operation is done?

According to this, its only when the military force the soldier to serve unaccompanied

In claiming CEA, a Service person must fully accept that accompanied service is the overriding principle for maintaining entitlement. An exception to this requirement is when a Service person is classified as Involuntarily Separated (INVOLSEP). This classification must be confirmed by the claimant’s Commanding Officer or by means of casework to Service Personnel and Veterans Agency (SPVA) before claiming while serving unaccompanied.


However, if I remember correctly who ever authorizes CEA can make other exceptions if there is a compelling case.
 
Napier,

There are a number of possible issues. Retention of SFA and accompanied service for CEA purposes if they are temporarily separated whilst she completes a course of medical treatment.

You should direct them to JSP752. Annex A and B to Section 1 of Chapter 2 will assist as that is the guidance used to determine status. It is available on the internet. They can then make their plans accordingly.
