Operational Allowance

Can anyone confirm that this doesn't cover Op Tosca and only Op Herrick,
Thanks in advance

 

According to this article, no:

Thanks for the link dragstrip

this would suggest tosca ain't covered

 

There's no suggestion.

 

So taking all of the above into account, I got Med Vac'd start of this month due to shity Gall Ballader but only spent 48 hours in Hospital in Bastion and only one day here before release to await the knife, I had 32 days to go on the 6 Months 21 day tour...where does this leave me? I'm not expecting the full amount of course.....so do i work out what i would get by how many days i served in theater?...I know its a bone question but a bit of clarity would be nice

 

Tosca is not covered by the allowance but you should still get LSA and possibly LOA (Cant remember it was 12 years ago I did it)

 

TOSCA is not demanding; the only dangers are sunburn and drinking too many brandy sours!

Do you still get the R & R package?

thats a very good package

 

Yes they do, on top of LOA and LSA. I also think there some small amount of UN payment as well.

 

Yes, just multiply the number of days you did in theatre by the daily amount of Op allowance, £29.04 I think and that is how much you will get.

 

They were still doing it on Herrick 12 although there was talk of a review so that it might be done on a case by case basis in future.

 

Cheers Guys.kind of puts my mind at rest

 

ive been earomed out of herrick 13 and was told that i dont qualify because i didnt go from hospital to hospital,, and even tho i fractured my ankle on patrol it wasnt classed as a battlefield injury so my OA finished on the day i was earomed to the UK
