The process is not so different, you’ll just need a couple more pieces of documentation when submitting your ELCAS application.
As long as you submit your claim with ELCAS within 5 years of having left the services, you can still use your ELC payment for training and education. You are only able to make one ELCAS claim per year but if you have served between 6-8 years, you can aggregate all three of your claims together into one total claim.
