Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Summary

Extract:

ITU Staff Regulation 3.11.II.C.1 provides for differential reimbursement of education expenses according to whether or not the educational institution provides the child with board. The complainant submits that such a provision is discriminatory; as his son attends a school which does not provide board, he gets a smaller amount than others. The Tribunal holds that different contingencies call for different means of reimbursement.
