Don't use that site or any other ffs,they will take some of the payment off you for charges.
Contact HR or HMRC yourself...

Normal should be 0747l so i guess i've still got the cleaning allowance.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Got mine after a month, phone them up & order it yourself, you will need the form filled out already for ease, or have an ask in your office if you can have some of the old stuff lying about that no one seems to want as it's dusty and the old style but the old uniform is better than non

Ok guys,

Telephone 01355359022 HMRC this is a cheap landline number & after answering your own personal security questions inform them that you wish to claim for cleaning your uniform, I can confirm this as I have just done it this morning, you are entitled to £24 per year for cleaning but in actual fact you receive £120 for what they call "flat rate expenses"
It's not much but it's better in our pockets than HMRC's & the good news is they will back date it...

My TAX code is 0759L - so does this mean that I'm already getting this allowance?

we went down this road months ago mate, and i didnt end up ringing.
call the number, they will check and it takes 5 mins.

just wondering if it is £120 or £120 added to tax relief? making it worth about £30.

who knows.....
