Is the listed amount the cash refund?

No. It is an expense deduction. The cash value depends on the income-tax rate that applies to the claimant.

Can a similar job title use the allowance?

Not automatically. Revenue’s exact occupation and expense conditions must match, and employer reimbursement can prevent a claim.
