Received 2 NIPs from different police forces after being caught by speed cameras, one in one force area, the 2nd in another force area. Was continuing a journey on the same motorway in the middle of the night, temp roadworks - unmanned - speed not excessive but over the limit, but each one was within the speed thresholds. One force offered me a speed awareness course, but the other refused and instead issued me with the more severe *Conditional Offer Of Fixed Penalty*, i.e. £100 fine plus 3 points. I did the course, cost me £76. I contend that the other force should not have issued me with the conditional fixed penalty and that both offences were only seen as separate because - unknowingly to me - the 2 speed cameras were in different force areas, even although I was still on the same motorway. Seems excessive punishment and a technicality is being used in order to deny me another speed awareness course offer, i.e. that only one can be done every 3 years. I've checked all the guidelines and the force in question has apparently breached them. I now stand to get a court summons because I've refused to accept the *COOFP* and would claim that both offences should not be separate but ought to be seen as one only. Seems like they want two bites of the same cherry? A tricky one where it seems as if their guidelines can't cope with my circumstances, so instead of either treating them as a continuation of the first offence, or taking no action, they seem hell bent on prosecuting me. Any thoughts ?? -

As the CPI was minus 0.1% as at 30 September 2015 the Government has confirmed there will not be an increase in April 2016. All AFPS Pensions will therefore remain at their 2015 level. -

How do I request Armed Forces Service Records? Individuals seeking Service records for a variety of reasons, some to acquire their own Service / medical records and some in connection with the growing interest in family history. Whatever the reason, obtaining copies can be a surprisingly straightforward process. The process differs, depending on whether you are requesting your own records, if you are the next of kin of a deceased Service person or if you simply have a general interest in an individual.

Hi, I am new to the forum, I recently travelled to london for the day, starting my journey from Andover and arriving in london waterloo. However on the return leg of my journey the barrier wouldn't lift and I was told that it was because I had a railcard. I was asked to produce my Railcard, however I had forgotten it. I was told to go have a chat with a guy now aware was a revenue officer. The revenue officer asked for my details which i provided, name, address, DOB, ID etc. The revenue officer made a phone call and then he issued me with an MG11. I didn't really no what he was issuing me at the time and i was told to sign. I was told to produce my railcard to Andover railway station the next day but when i went to check my railcard i have now just released that it is no longer in date. railcard expired on 12th november 2013, so well over a year. I rarely use my railcard but i am not sure they will show any sympathy. Please can someone offer advice as I am now afraid of prosecution and how that can affect my career in the armed forces -
My son joined The Royal Navy at the end of 2013. I am in receipt of housing benefit and have been taken to have a spare bedroom. After researching various sites they tell me I should be exempt from the bedroom tax because I have a son involved in operations in the forces and he will eventually return home. First, refusal was because my son wasn`t on a ship, now he is on a ship they tell me he is still classed as living at home. If this is the case, what criteria do people in the forces have to satisfy? I was even told that his income would be taken in to concideration and that would cancel the amount of housing benefit I would receive.
