h. Single (and unaccompanied) personnel who occupy surplus SFA on<br />

assignment are entitled to current relocation provisions for moves from/to single living<br />

accommodation in accordance with the appropriate Regulations. Personnel who opt<br />

to move out <strong>of</strong> SLA to occupy surplus SFA mid tour, or are required to move out <strong>of</strong><br />

the surplus SFA mid tour, have no entitlement to relocation allowances. Singles<br />

occupying surplus SFA have no entitlement to the relocation package available to<br />

those living out in private accommodation.<br />

i. Failure to observe the terms and conditions <strong>of</strong> occupancy may result in the<br />

Local Service Commander’s permission to be withdrawn.<br />

3. Location other than the duty station. Service personnel PStatCats 1 & 2 may<br />

apply to occupy temporarily surplus SFA at a location in UK other than their duty station.<br />

Service personnel whose family intend to occupy surplus SFA and who serve<br />

unaccompanied during the working week whilst occupying SLA/SSSA at their duty station<br />

are required to notify DIO and seek authorisation from their Chain <strong>of</strong> Command before<br />

submitting Form 1132 Application for SFA and before applying for SSSA. Furthermore,<br />

they are also required to inform DIO and their Chain <strong>of</strong> Command <strong>of</strong> any change in<br />

circumstances. If Notice To Vacate is served for the surplus SFA, then the SP will be<br />

required to occupy SFA at their duty station and serve accompanied.<br />

4. Widowed Service personnel (PStatCat 3, 4 and 5). Widowed Service personnel<br />

PStatCat 3, 4 and 5 may, on expiry <strong>of</strong> their entitlement to SFA (para 0312), apply to<br />

occupy temporarily surplus SFA at the entitled rate.<br />

5. Last 6 months service. Married (or those in a civil partnership) Service personnel<br />

posted back to UK for their last 6 months service are entitled to SFA at their new duty<br />

station, but may apply for a temporarily surplus SFA at the entitled rate in an area close to<br />

where they intend to settle in order to facilitate finding employment and housing.<br />

6. Less than 6 months to serve. Service personnel with less than 6 months left to<br />

serve may apply for temporarily surplus SFA at a preferred location at the entitled rate.<br />

7. Families who do not wish to serve accompanied overseas. Families who have<br />

an entitlement to SFA overseas but chose for personal reasons to serve unaccompanied<br />

have an eligibility to, and may apply for, temporary surplus SFA in UK. Personal<br />

preference <strong>of</strong> location will be taken into account where possible but will be dependent on<br />

availability <strong>of</strong> SFA.<br />

8. WRVS. WRVS workers are normally accommodated in SLA to Field Officer<br />

standard, free <strong>of</strong> charge. Where such accommodation is not available or when it is<br />

inappropriate for Service reasons for WRVS to occupy SLA, the local Service Commander<br />

personnel for whom suitable SLA is available but who request to occupy SFA may apply to<br />

occupy temporarily surplus SFA on payment <strong>of</strong> the entitled rate.<br />
