Example: A person who is resident family moves into emergency accommodation on Monday without getting approval first. They then apply for emergency accommodation assistance. On Tuesday the CDF approves the accommodation. Accommodation costs can be paid from Tuesday onwards.

Example 1: The member has to leave their housing benefit location separately to perform temporary duty at another location before commencing duty in the new housing benefit location. The resident family and recognised other persons are able to remain in temporary accommodation in the losing location. This allows them to arrive in the new housing benefit location at the same time as the member.

Example 2: The member has to leave the housing benefit location separately to perform duty at another location before commencing duty in the new housing benefit location. The resident family and recognised other persons may leave the losing location at the same time as the member and travel separately to the new housing benefit location. They are eligible for temporary accommodation allowance in the new housing benefit location before the member arrives.

Example 1: A member is removed to a new housing benefit location. The member lived in a non-Service residence at their losing location. The member could be granted three nights' temporary accommodation allowance at the losing location. This could be made up of one night's allowance for the night of a pre-pack, another for the night of uplift, and another for the final cleaning and handing over of the residence.

Example 2: A member is removed to a new housing benefit location. The member lived in a Service residence at their losing location. Only a pre-vacation inspection before uplift was required. The member could be granted two nights' temporary accommodation allowance at the losing location. This could be made up of one night's allowance for the night of pre-pack, and another for the night of uplift.

Example 3: A member is removed from one Service residence to another within their housing benefit location. Only a pre-vacation inspection before uplift was required. The member is granted two nights' temporary accommodation allowance. This could be made up of one night's allowance for the night of pre-pack, and another for the night of uplift.
