It is apparent that the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) has affected morale within the RAF. Three quarters of our voters told us that they are now less confident in their, or their serving family member’s, future in the RAF since the SDSR announcements. 76% of respondents also told us that the Allowances Review had had an impact on their family to some extent.


Responses indicate that many families were affected by changes to more than one allowance. The Federation received much feedback separately from families who


have stated that they will face financial hardship as a result of the changes to the Home to Duty (HTD) and Local Overseas Allowances (LOA).


Families who have been moved into SFA which is away from their duty station, in some cases up to 20 miles, feel that they are being discriminated against, in comparison to those families who have been allocated properties which are either on, or close to their units, as they will soon have to pay more to travel to work.
