Do you lose BAH waiver for PCS within same post?

I received a BAH waiver when I PCS'd from Bethesda to Fort Detrick. I'm now scheduled to PCS again, but looks like I'll just be switching to a new location here on post. Question/worry - does my BAH waiver that I got to retain my Bethesda rate still continue if I PCS again on-location but not changing residence?

Are you actually PCS'ing or are you PCA'ing? (Perm Change Assignment). PCA should not trigger it.

Are you sure you are actually getting "PCS" orders? You shouldn't if you are not physically relocating. You should just be receiving orders for a new command?

I would assume you are being on station again, so nothing changes.
