I was a civilian in the Defence Dept (which I think had a similar system of allowances) - and never heard of the criteria mentioned in the article. I wonder if the navy has just invented them.
And my understanding of this allowance (I can't recall whether I was told this or just deduced it from the details of the rules) was exactly that mentioned at the end of the article - it was intended to cover the extra costs where the posting resulted in the expense of two households instead of one.
