This has also been raised with AMPBT: “Is there a plan to align the Reserve Forces to the Regular Forces allowances?” The response was:
“The current allowances and expenses regulations apply to both Regular and Reserve Armed Forces personnel. JSP 752 provides the over-arching policy document for allowances and expenses paid to Service personnel. Reimbursement Expenses (RE) provide refunds for actual expenditure incurred (within defined limits) and can be claimed by Reserve personnel when undertaking Service mandated activities, or meeting Service obligations. Contributory and compensatory allowances may also be claimed, where applicable, by Reserve personnel as a result of the exigencies of the Service.
The FR20 White Paper put forward a broad intention to deliver greater parity and comparability between Regular and Reserve Service, for equivalent levels of liability and commitment. The increasing proportion of Reserves in the future force structure (particularly in the Army) suggests that this imbalance needs redressing and in considering the allowances applicable to Reserve categories we are considering the objective justification that supports any difference in treatment between Regular and Reserve cadres, and between the different categories of Reserve. Consideration of the changes required to existing allowances policy will be determined, primarily, by the Service requirement.”
The satisfaction results from ResCAS, RAF FF Reserves survey and the individual RAuxAF results were very similar.
