2025 Army Families Federation questionnaire on Service pay
The Army Families Federation (AFF), Naval Families Federation (NFF) and RAF Families Federation (RAFFF) are jointly running a questionnaire to hear from Regular Service Personnel and their families about satisfaction with pay and personal financial circumstances over the past 12 months.
The responses will help to:
- Better understand the financial challenges faced by service families.
- Identify any trends or issues specific to each of the single services.
- Provide robust, evidence-based feedback to the MOD, the Armed Forces Pay Review Body, and other key stakeholders.
