This webpage provides an overview of the national relocation and excess travel framework, under which all eligible Postgraduate Doctors and Dentists in Training (PGDiTs) can apply for reimbursement.
- Check the framework to see if/what you may be entitled to claim for, clarification should be sought from your employing Trust in the first instance.
- Request approval to claim in advance via email or by sending in the initial application form where this is provided. Claims submitted without prior approval will not be processed.
- Once you have sought and received approval ensure you claim within the specified timeframes (within 3 months of incurring the costs) and provide the required evidence.
- Submit the claim forms to the relevant email address / online expenses system.
- You are required to declare any payments you have already received under any former relocation or expenses policy or the new Framework.
- It is your responsibility to ensure that you do not claim over and above your entitlement or claim for any expenses for which you have already received re-imbursement via another route. Knowingly providing false information may result in disciplinary action and potentially prosecution.
- To assist with this if you are not sure of previous claim details please check with your previous employing Trust/s or, for those trainees whose were employed in Trusts within the TV region prior to April 2021, this information can be requested by emailing england.relocationexpenses.tv@nhs.net
- NHSE Thames Valley will be support Trusts and will work with them to verify previous claim information.
- If you feel that you have been unfairly treated in relation to a claim, then you may appeal to the Postgraduate Dean.
- To submit an appeal please complete the attached form setting out reasons for your appeal and include any relevant evidence.
