Business from home applications paused

Applications from family members who want to run a business from their SFA have been paused while DIO conducts a review.

You can still submit your request to Pinnacle but it won’t be processed until the review has been completed. Applications received before 20 January will be dealt with as usual.

DIO said: “We understand this might be disappointing for those of you who wish to start a business from home immediately and apologise for any inconvenience caused during this pause.”

Key stakeholders and organisations including AFF and the other families federations will have input into the review which is aimed at ensuring the policy best meets the needs of families and the MOD.

While we appreciate it may delay permission for some families we hope that the review will result in better clarity across the process.
