<p>Civil servants employed by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) can claim for the additional
expense incurred through economy class travel, overnight accommodation booked through
the Defence Travel Hotel Booking Service and the cost of subsistence when undertaking
business travel (also known as 'duty travel' or 'detached duty'). This may be for
a meeting, conference, approved training course, or other business requirement, at
a location different to an employee's usual place of work.</p><p>In addition to the
necessary expenses incurred through travel, accommodation and subsistence, MOD civil
servants who travel and stay overnight can claim an Incidental Expenses Allowance
of £3 per night in the UK for additional, specific miscellaneous costs such as laundry
charges.</p><p>In accordance with the Civil Service Management Code, staff should
not profit from official duties, nor be out of pocket. The MOD has clear policies
and guidance on what may be claimed, and on audit requirements for individual travellers,
line managers and business areas.</p>
