Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) provides an allowance for entitled Service personnel to educate their children at a boarding school. The aim of this allowance is to provide educational continuity that children would otherwise not get if they accompanied their parents on frequent assignments in the UK and Overseas.  

Eligibility Certificate (EC) can now only be applied for via JPA, unless the Service person is in remote overseas locations without sufficient JPA access where manual forms will remain acceptable. It is essential that details regarding children and home address are kept up to date on JPA. See 2017DIN01-002 – available via the Defence Intranet or RN FPS Information Support Office. 

To ensure that Service personnel have considered all the requirements of JSP 752, Chapter 14, and have been advised on the best options for the education of their child(ren) all Service personnel must contact the Education Advisory Team (EAT) for advice before an initial claim for CEA is submitted or when any change of school is being planned.
