Part B – Claimant’s Certificate

I claim Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) (Board, Day, SENA or SENA(Day)) in accordance with JSP 752 Chapter 9 Sections 1-5.
1I certify that all details shown and amounts claimed at Part A are correct.
2I have read and understand the rules relating to CEA and I accept:
  1. That CEA is to provide continuity of education for the child(ren) in respect of which this claim is submitted.
  2. A commitment to Family Mobility and, when assigned, I intend to serve accompanied and occupy a Residence at Work Address (RWA) at my new permanent duty station. I am aware that if I fail to relocate my family to a RWA on assignment my entitlement to CEA will normally cease unless I move to an authorised unaccompanied post or obtain specific exceptional authority.
  3. I am aware that I am required to pay a minimum 10% Parental Contribution (PC) towards my child(ren)’s education and that this will be taken into account when this claim for CEA is processed (except for CEA SENA(SP)).
  4. That payment of CEA will only be made into my main UK bank account set up on JPA for pay purposes.
3I am in possession of a valid Mobility Certificate in accordance with JPS 752 Chapter 9 Section 1.
4I have declared at Part A all grants, scholarships and discounts made by the school, Local Education Authorities or other public bodies and official benefactors.
5I understand that I may be called upon to refund CEA received if my child(ren) for whom CEA has been paid is/are withdrawn from school for unacceptable reasons, or without prior authority. I understand that any new assignment, whether at home or overseas, will not be regarded as sufficient reason for changing my child(ren)’s school.
6I will inform my CO immediately, in writing, of any occurrence that may affect my entitlement for CEA (e.g. change of school, change in stage of education, change of education authority grant, change of fees, change of PStat Category, change from boarding school to day school, cessation of schooling, change of accompanied status or change of permanent duty station).
7The child(ren) is/are eligible for CEA in accordance with JPS 752, Chapter 9, Section 1.
8I am aware that I am required by regulations to pay the full amount of the CEA paid to me directly to the school or Local Education Authority not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of the CEA.
9In the event of any reduction in the net amount due to the school, to below the amount claimed, I will immediately notify my unit HR admin staff and refund any overpayments.
10I have only applied for admissible extras when my entitlement, after deduction of the PC where applicable, is below the appropriate maximum CEA payment rate.
11(Applicable for Initial Claims and where a school change is involved only). I have sought advice from CEAS and have received a certificate to this effect from CEAS which I will submit to my Unit Allowances Checker prior to authorisation of this claim.
12(Applicable for initial or continuation claims after a change of Pstat Category). I have changed my Pstat Category and understand that this claim must be submitted via JPAC before it is authorised for payment.
13(Applicable to final claims only). I undertake to submit to the Unit Allowances Checker not later than 61 days after receipt of the CEA payment or, if I am due to be discharged before this date, prior to my last day of service, a valid receipt for payment to the school or Local Education Authority of the full amount of the CEA payment.
• My family has accompanied me to my current place of duty and occupies a RWA at the following address: • My family has not accompanied me to my current place of duty because:
DSA(NW)
I claim DSA(NW) in accordance with JSP 752, Chapter 9, Section 7.
1I certify that all details shown and amounts claimed at Part A are correct.
2I have declared at Part A all grants, scholarships and discounts made by the school, Local Education Authorities or other public bodies and official benefactors.
3I understand that I may be called upon to refund DSA(NW) received if a child(ren) for whom DSA(NW) allowance has been paid is withdrawn from school for unacceptable reasons or without prior authority.
4I will inform my CO immediately, in writing, of any occurrence that may affect my entitlement to DSA(NW) (e.g. change of school, change in stage of education, change of education authority grant, change of fees, change of Pstat Category, cessation of schooling, change of accompanied status or change of permanent duty station).
5In the event of any reduction in the net amount due to the school, to below that amount claimed I will immediately notify my unit HR admin staff and refund any overpayments.
Gurkha Education Allowance
I claim Gurkha Education Allowance (GEA) in accordance with JPS 752, Chapter 9, Section 10.
1I certify that all details shown and amounts claimed at Part A are correct.
2My child(ren) attended the school(s) shown at Part A.
3I am aware that I am required to pay a minimum 10% parental contribution towards my child(ren)’s education and that this will be taken into account when this claim for GEA is processed.
4I have declared at Part A all grants, scholarships and discounts made by the school, Local Education Authorities or other public bodies and official benefactors.
5I understand that the underlying principle governing the payment of GEA is the continuity of education for my child(ren), which would otherwise be disrupted by the need to relocate my family as a result of normal Service assignments or appointments. I acknowledge that in receiving GEA I am expected to serve accompanied according to current regulations (where this is not precluded for Service reasons) and that, if, on assignments to a location where I become voluntarily unaccompanied, I may lose entitlement to GEA.
6I am aware that the school will be visited on an annual basis to ensure that the child(ren) for whom this claim is made has/have been attending the school.
7I will inform my CO immediately of any occurrence that may affect my entitlement to GEA.
8In the event of any reduction in the net amount due to the school, to below the amount claimed I will immediately notify my unit HR admin staff and refund any overpayments.
