e. High cost rental area (Officer applicants only). Prior to the HASC tasking
the MOD Contractor to identify reduced scale property (as per Para 5), the
applicant may request the HASC to expand the radius of the search for a full
sized property to 50 miles or 1½ hours. The HASC will task the MOD
Contractor accordingly.
f. Non availability of any suitable property (all applicants/all areas). In the
exceptional circumstance that the MOD Contractor cannot identify any suitable
property, the MOD Contractor will seek the MOD Project Manager’s approval,
through the Local Service Commander, to expand the radius of the search to 50
miles or 1 ½ hours. Disputes between the Local Service Commander and DIO
Ops Accommodation are to be referred to the appropriate single Service
Housing Colonel for a decision.
APPLICATION FOR SSFA
7. Issue of the NAC. As soon as it becomes clear that appropriate SFA is not available
to meet the applicant’s required date, the HASC will issue the applicant with a NAC. The
NAC comprises the SSFA Application Form 1132A (Annex A to Chapter 6 to TSARs – JSP
464 Part 1) together with the ‘Rules and instructions for Service personnel occupying
SSFA’.
8. Timescale for the issue of the NAC. Whenever possible, the HASC should issue
the NAC a minimum of 51 days (for moves within UK) and 65 days (for moves to UK from
overseas) prior to the accommodation required date, in order to ensure that there is
sufficient time for the administration of the SSFA Application Form 1132A by the various
agencies involved:
a. The HASC sends Application Form 1132A to the applicant – 3 days
b. Applicant completes the Form – 7 days
c. Applicant returns the Form to the HASC – 3 days
d. Processing by the HASC and forwarding to HASS – 5 days
e. Processing by HASS and forwarding to the MOD Contractor – 5 days
f. Administration by the contractor (identification and showing of properties) – 14
days.
g. Notice of address – whenever possible, 14 days (for moves within UK) and 28
days (for moves from overseas).
Delays in the issue of the NAC, or at any point thereafter in the process, may result in the
applicant’s required date not being met. It should be noted that both HASS and the MOD
Contractor have contracted periods to undertake their responsibilities (as above), however,
every effort will be made to expedite the process.
9. Application process. Personnel in receipt of a NAC are to complete Sections 1 – 5
of the SSFA Application Form 1132A and send/fax it immediately to the appropriate
HASC. The HASC is to complete Sections 6, 7 and 8 and forward the original of the Form
by first class post (not by fax) to the HASS at Centurion who will complete Section 9
(Unique Transaction Number), confirm that the Form has been correctly completed and
task the MOD Contractor to provide accommodation to meet the requirement. HASS will
also advise the authorising HASC that tasking has been initiated.
