3704 Subsistance Allowance

I received a subsistence allowance (3704). In 2014 I travelled locally for 5 months, I spent about 108 days away from home. How much can I claim in terms of subsistence allowance?

Do you have a source code 3696 on your IRP5 for the same amount as the 3704?

No, I have a 3696 for the same amount as 3714 but not 3704.

The 3704 is for the amount provided to you which exceeds the tax free amount which unfortunately cannot be claimed against because this is taken into account in the 3714/3696 amounts.
