Badera and Sue Ann Badera DIGEST: Former Army enlis ed members' claim for temporary lodging allowance for their u' of temporary lodg- ing in Germany during110 day period-in 1973, which they first claimed from the Army a year later, may not be allowed since AnyAcazds.do not con tainthe~ dcuments required by =egu1at4ons to suppor the claim, and the claimants are unable to furnish them. This action is in response to a letter from former Specialist Fourth Class Michael J. Badera appealing our Claims DivLsion's dis- allowance of his and his wife's (former Specialist Fourth Class Sue Ann Badera) claims for temporary ,lodging allowance (TLA) incident to-their-service- in the United States Army in Augsburg, Germany. We sustain the disallowance of the claim because of the lack of substantiating documents and the overseas commander's determina- tion of the necessity for using temporary lodging required by the applicable regulations. Mr. and Mrs. Badera claim TLA for the 10-day period of August 9-18, 1973, during which they indicate they were required to live in tourist/hotel type accommodations upon their arrival at their duty station, Detachment N, Eckstein, Augsburg, Germany. They say they firstapplied pxr TLA for that period in Septem- ber 1974, over a year after their arrival at Detachment N because previously they were unaware of their entitlement to TLA. They state that at that time the detachment first sergeant checked with the Finance Section, which advised that they were entitled to TLA, and he then forwarded the TLA forms on to the detachment commander for his signature. Apparently the Baderas did not receive Daymentandtbey indicate they applied for TLA for that period again.before leaving the Army in Nove 97r. Badera indicates that both of these claims and su porting documents were lost by the Army. V. il
