Don't remember seeing that in there although i only had a quick scan. The only changes to seemed to be the unpleasant living allowance for FOB's and PB's. LSA did get 2% IIRC.

Bear in mind that these are only recommendations, until the Govt agree to implement them.

From page 23 "While we do not make recommendations on Operational Allowance, as it is outside our remit, we take it into account when considering our recommendations."

From the signal:

THE OPERATIONAL ALLOWANCE IS NOT REVIEWED BY THE AFPRB, BUT IS SET (AND FUNDED) BY HER MAJESTY’S TREASURY. FOLLOWING A MOD AND HMT REVIEW IT HAS BEEN DECIDED TO INCREASE THE OPERATIONAL ALLOWANCE BY 1.43 POUNDS PER DAY TO 14.51 POUNDS
