AFF has had several soldiers and their families approach us asking why they haven’t received a pay rise. We asked the Army for more information about this.

The Armed Forces Pay Review Body 2025 report has recommended a 4.5 per cent base pay increase for Service personnel and 3.75 per cent for senior military officers.

The Government has announced it will apply 20 per cent VAT to private school fees across the UK from January 2025. We know some Army families have concerns about how this change might affect their children’s education.

Families separating and living in their Service Family Accommodation after the 93-day notice to vacate period highlighted to AFF that they were unable to claim the housing costs element of Universal Credit.
