DIO: Service Family Accommodation (SFA) Communications Update

Retention of SFA – Reminder for families

As soon as you receive your new assignment order, and if you are entitled to SFA, you will need to apply for your new home at your next duty station via the e1132. You would normally be expected to leave your current SFA/SSFA, unless you have received permission from Pinnacle on behalf of DIO Accommodation to retain your home for a specified period.

Whilst your entitlement to SFA/SSFA normally finishes at the previous duty station on the date of the new assignment, in certain circumstances and for specified periods of time personnel - including regular, FTRS(FC) and MPGS personnel - are able to apply to Pinnacle in order to retain their SFA/SSFA at their previous duty station beyond the date of assignment as an extension of their entitlement. This includes personnel who come under the Naval Port rule. Details on how to retain SFA can be found here.

Scotland: Sight Scotland Veterans

We've been around since 1915, and we’re here to offer support across Scotland to veterans of the Armed Forces who need support to adapt to sight loss.
Adapting to and learning to live with sight loss can be bewildering, and it can be challenging to know who to turn to in order to get the answers you need. Our team have got the answers. And if they don't, they know where to find them.

Don't lose sense of who you are because of changes to your sight.
Our team provides information and support that will help you stay connected to the things that matter to you and support your loved ones. We’re here to help you thrive.
