Grimweasel,
Me too. I spoke with A1 at Air and they forwarded the signal which "justifies" the reduction in HDT. The new rate has been set to the same as that which is used by civilians. Not that they have to upsticks and move every three years. It goes on to say that the MOD are likely to place a high priority on support to home ownership. Easy answer - rather than you busting yourself to provide family stability; put the kids in school and claim tens of thousands in boarding school allowance, or move and claim disturbance and live in subsidised quarters, hopefully SSFA.
I know this allowance is generous compared to civvie counterparts but I thought it was supposed to make up for the pain of being posted every couple of years. And yes I believe boarding school allowance will be discontinued for new service joiners eventually.
