B-262050 1 (1995-11-14)

handle is hein.gao/gaobablly0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO United States General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Office of the General Counsel B-262050 November 14, 1995 The Honorable Kay Bailey Hutchison United States Senator 961 Federal Building 300 E. 8th Street Austin, Texas 78701 Dear Senator Hutchison: This is in further response to your letter dated June 26, 1995, on behalf of Mr. Raymond W. Wilebski who claims various amounts incident to his discharge from the Air Force in 1954 and the correction of his records in 1993 by the Air Force Board for the Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR). Mr. Wilebski was given an undesirable discharge on January 18, 1954, from the Air Force. On December 8, 1993, upon application by Mr. Wilebski, the AFBCMR recommended that Mr. Wilebski's military records be corrected to show that his discharge was honorable, which recommendation was approved by authority of the Secretary of the Air Force. Mr. Wilebski made claim for arrears of pay, mustering- out pay (MOP), travel allowance, leave and punitive damages. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service, Denver Center, paid him the $22.80 travel allowance due for travel from his place of discharge to his place of enlistment, which had been withheld in 1954 because of his undesirable discharge. However, they disallowed the additional items Mr. Wilebski claimed, as did our Claims Group by settlement dated September 8, 1994. The change in Mr. Wilebski's discharge was made under authority granted to the Secretary of the Air Force by 10 U.S.C. § 1552 to change a military record to correct an error or remove an injustice. This statute also authorizes the payment of a claim for loss of pay, allowances and other emoluments found to be due as a result of the correction. 10151114
