final move

[sulky]

Im currently on GRT and soon to be on leave/Terminal. I have heard from some other ex-servers that if you are in quarters when you demob you can get the last move paid for if you are buying a house due to leaving. Anyone know if this is true or a pile of pooh.

please if its good can you quote JSP etc

Thx in advance

JSP 752 - Oct 19 Looks promising.

06.0706. Travel Entitlements on Termination of Service. If service is terminated at a Service person’s own request, travel at public expense to where they intend to live will not be allowed unless the Service person has completed more than 4 years’ service. When service is terminated on completion of a normal engagement or for other Service reasons such as discharge due to misconduct, or on administrative grounds, the following entitlements apply to the Service person and their accompanying immediate family:
a. Service Personnel Attested in the UK and Serving in the UK. A Service person, on termination of service, is entitled to travel at public expense from their last place of duty to a Selected Place of Residence (SPR) in the UK (or the Republic of Ireland if they were recruited from, or are normally domiciled, there). Where the Service person chooses to settle overseas, they will be entitled to travel at public expense from their last place of duty to the point of departure from the UK.

That is the movement of just you and your family though isn't it, not your house contents?

A while ago now but first and last family moves were at personal expense, never used to be that much of a problems as most people would be moving into the private sector before their time was up.

If you’re finding it difficult then you could try reaching out to one of the forces charities to see if they can help you out.

Read JSP 752. Chapter 12 Section 5 regarding final tour of duty if that applies.

This worked for me. But requires planning in advance and requesting a last tour of duty in, or further away than, the area you want to settle in. If further away, you need to ensure you don’t actually get posted there.
