<p>Defence recognises that nobody is immune from the recent rises in inflation and
the cost of living. We are committed to doing what we can to assist Armed Forces personnel
where possible, including implementing the independent Armed Forces' Pay Review Body's
2022 pay award recommendations in full, a pay uplift of 3.75%; capping subsidised
accommodation charge increases to 1%; increasing travel allowances by 7%; no rise
in food charges; over 32,000 Service Personnel have received a Contribution in Lieu
of Council Tax rebate of £150; and families can save around £3,400 per child per year
through our wraparound childcare.</p>
