It will only be bad news I,m afraid, I see in todays press that LOA and "other" expenses have now been hammered for the troops, bet the civvies dont get touched though"
Going to bite here - CS allowances are being reviewed, and will be cut in time. They are totally different to forces allowances though so I'd expect to see changes made in line with the rest of the wider civil service and not the forces.
EDIT - release is now out of AFF website.
