So I’m currently browsing ACP 300 (as you do on a Wednesday evening!) and this question is directly answered. Just remembered your post when I read it!
Electric cars . A F1771 maybe authorised for the use of the claimant’s electric car and will be paid at the private car rate.
Cool. I was going to put the claims in anyway, but that gives me a reply if someone queries it. Thanks!
But…
PCR repayment is based on the average cost of the equivalent journey by public transport to and from the place of duty
In that case, I’d get more. Rural area with no direct connection between my house and place of duty by public transport. Would involve at least 3 bus journeys.
I’d need an overnight stay as well, as we can get the bus into town for 1830 as the bus service runs. At 1930 it stops… taxi or hotel. Take your pick! 
I’d need more than that. Literally two busses a week in my village. I’d have to stay permanently near squadron. (Fate worse than death…)
God knows where they get that ‘average’. The Private Car Rate didn’t even cover half of my public transport costs to and from the squadron twice a week.
It didn’t make sense when they announced the rate over a decade ago…
I mean, at least it was consistent… It makes as much sense as taking a ‘personal contribution’ intended for permanent employees who get paid, and applying it to the out of pocket expenses of volunteers who don’t.
Probably based on the route from Grantham to the Bar at Cranwell.
Out of interest since the JPA service numbers has now been rolled out, does anyone know what number ie the new JPA or existing CIN numbers will be used for reporting on the London gazette for new commissions and existing promotions?
TIA,
Mozza
Should be the new JPA number since it became the primary number on SMS.
I was gazzetted since recieving my new JPA #, but the entry in the Gazette was my old service number.
Although considering the date of the effective date, it was probably submitted before i recieved my new JPA #
Sorry to ressarrecct an older thread.
On my Gov Gateway account, I’ve got my actual employer, RAF Reserves and MOD JPAC Armed Services payroll all as current.
Can I bin off the RAF Reserves one? I am still waiting on VA from last financial year (pre change to JPA).
