Children’s Education Advisory Service Continuity of Education Allowance (Board)
With effect from September 2008 there has been a change to the process for claiming CEA (Board). All new claims for CEA (Board) must ad here to these new procedures.
The CEA application form has been revised and is now the CEA Eligibility Certificate. This form must be used for all claims with immediate effect. The form can only be obtained by calling the CEAS office.
Maintaining Continuity
The aim of continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) is to assist Service personnel to achieve continuity of education for their child(ren) that would otherwise be denied in the maintained day school sector if their child(ren) accompanied them on frequent assign- ments both at home and overseas.
Family Mobility
Acceptance of accompanied service and hence family mobility is inherent in claim- ing CEA. An exception to this requirement is those Service personnel classified as Involuntarily Separated (INVOLSEP). Advice on this can be sought from CEAS.
22 Winter 2008 First Steps:
Claimants must contact CEAS to obtain the new CEA Eligibility Certificate. CEAS can offer advice about boarding education and a briefing pack will be sent with a numbered CEA Eligibility Certificate. The claimant then completes the form including details of their home addresses for their last four assignments. The form is returned to CEAS with let- ter from the chosen school offering the child a place.
Establishing Eligibility
If the Eligibility Certificate shows the Service person as having remained at the same address for their last 4 as-
signments, then CEAS will inform the individual’s Commanding Officer who will be required to conduct a review of entitlement.
Further Help
Further information can be found in DIN 2008DIN01-191: Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) – Change to regulations JSP 752 Ch 9. If you have any worries about CEA or any other matter regarding the education of your children, please contact CEAS for information and advice.
