What happens if travelers do not follow DTS guidelines?

If travelers do not follow DTS guidelines, they may face delays in reimbursement. This is because adherence to the established procedures and policies in the DTS ensures that travel claims are processed efficiently and correctly. When deviations occur, such as entering incorrect information, failing to provide required documentation, or not following the prescribed travel routes, it can lead to processing delays as the claims may require additional scrutiny or revision. Proper compliance helps streamline the approval process and ensures that reimbursements are made in a timely manner.

The potential for incurring personal costs often depends on individual circumstances, and while additional funding is not typically offered to those who deviate from guidelines, there may be a misunderstanding about consequences in certain situations. It's also incorrect to say that there are no consequences, as failure to follow DTS guidelines always entails some form of impact on the traveler's experience or reimbursement timeframe.
