    Depends where in the Country you are but see if this applies:

    N&M in London and parts of the South pre AfC had a "Cost of living allowance" . On assimilation to AfC this was converted and protected to an R&R premium.

    Post implementation new recruits were generally not awarded it. So my thinking is that as you have only been there for 4 years you would not have been awarded it whereas your friend had it when assimilated and continues to have it.
  • Cheers Spirit! That could be it... I work in Oxfordshire! But not everyone at my unit gets it- and they have worked there for years.....????
