If u have transfered voluntary then im afraid u lose all allowances u may have been entitled to before,if not then pursue them as its not your fault u have moved and u should not be out of pocket for doing so.

if you drove before 31 jan 2000, and have driven ever since, you retain allowance as reserved rights.

Not true suffolk.
It's only retained as long as you remain in the same job as you did as of 31st Jan 2000.
Even moving from one driving job to a different driving job loses the payment.
