NEW MEN AT THE TOP
T
he RAF FF were delighted to see that AM Stephen Dalton has been appointed as the next
Chief of the Air Staff and that AVM Simon Bryant has been appointed as the new Air Member for Personnel. Both have been great supporters of
the Federation to date and we look forward to continuing these close working relationships when they take up post in 2009.
Changes in Long Service Advance of Pay (LSAP) – Removal of Second Charge
I
n order to simplify administration of the LSAP, a policy change has come into force and there is no longer a
requirement for the MOD to retain a second charge on a property purchased with the aid of the LSAP. With effect from 1 Oct 08 the requirement to impose a legal charge in favour of the MOD was removed and therefore Service personnel applying for a LSAP after this date have not been required to accept a second charge on the property they wish to purchase.
