668 could not be processed. The reasons for the rejections were:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>No.
of Rejections</p></td><td><p>Reason for Rejection</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>394</p></td><td><p>A

</p><p>For MOD civilian staff, the number of deductions of earning orders declined
is not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost, however,
a deduction of earning order would only be rejected if an individual was no longer
employed by the MOD or if they were in receipt of insufficient earnings to meet the
request.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
