Highlights
An Air Force member requested reconsideration of a settlement which disallowed his claim for reimbursement of travel in the vicinity of his permanent duty station. The claim, which was submitted over 1 year after the performance of the travel, was paid despite an Air Force administrative regulation providing that such claims will be submitted within 1 month. Since the delay was due to misinformation as to entitlement, the claim was approved by the proper authority, and the controlling law did not provide for denial of a claim if not submitted within a specified period.
