Relocation expenses boost for juniors

The BMA has negotiated improvements to relocation and mileage expenses for junior doctors in England.

https://www.bma.org.uk/news-and-opinion/relocation-expenses-boost-for-juniors
The improvements include:

• An increase in the overall individual maximum allowance from £8k to £10k

• Additional allowance on top of the 10k for trainees after 8 years in training (important for LTFT trainees)
• Removal of the ‘cap’ placed on expenses eligible to be claimed by foundation docs
•The distance doctors are required to travel before claiming excess mileage to fall from 40 miles to 17.
•Removal of the requirement to own your own home in order to claim excess mileage costs
• Reimbursement of excess mileage rates for bicycle and public transport use
• Reimbursement of redirection of mail costs
• Opportunity to seek reimbursement for rental agency fees/unavoidable double rent costs
• Trainees on OOP training retaining eligibility whilst on their OOP
• Flexibility for trainees to use their normal daily excess mileage costs towards temporary accommodation for a single night or run of nights, when they would prefer to not commute back home
• Trainees will be eligible to claim back any non-refundable nursery registration administration fee up to a maximum of £150 per child
