SERVICES ALLOWANCES - GENERAL INFORMATION
Services allowances are not designed to provide profit or perks, nor do they exist to enhance pay by other means. Their purpose is to ensure that Service personnel receive appropriate financial recompense that recognises circumstances, which cannot be addressed in basic pay, additional pay or the X-factor (compensation for the special circumstances found in the Services). Services allowances support the Armed Forces' personal strategies and focus on the individuals for who they are properly intended. They conform to one or more of the following characteristics:
Compensation - to compensate for financial disadvantage.
Reimbursement - some additional expenses are incurred in the course of duty.
Retention - to address particular conditions of service, which cannot be recognised by pay or the X-factor.
The following links show purpose, eligibility and allowance rates for the main allowance groups as indicated below. There are many allowances and rates and any further advice should be sought from your Unit Pay Staff who will be able to provide figures based on an individual's circumstances.
