Henderson - Home service transfer allowance - Reconsideration DIGEST: This Office will reconsider its decision if material mistake of law or of fact is alleged or proven. Reconsideration is not possible, however, where decision recipient merely indicates general disagreement with the result reached in a decision. This decision is in response to a request for reconsideration of our decision D-181891, July 16, 1975, which sustained the dis- allowance of our Transportation and Claims Division of Mr. Joseph S. Henderson's claim for reimbursement of expenses incurred for tem- porary quarters and subsistence in connection with a permanent change of station performed as a State Department Foreign Service Officer, following his return to the United States from an overseas assignent in Mexico City, Mexico. The facts in this case were fully stated in our decision of July 16, 1975, and need not be repeated except as pertinent to the present discussion of the case. In asking for a reconsideration of our July 16, 1975 decision, Mr. Henderson states alleged misunderstanding of the facts by our Office upon which the disallowance of his claim rested. However, he points to no factual error and has cited no legal precedent which would indicate a mistake of law. Mr. Henderson claims that our decision rests on a false premise that I was 'assigned' to Washington, and/or that I 'entered on duty' there, if even for a short period. * * * I never was given an assignment in Washington, nor did I perform any duty dur* ing the period in question /90 daysl/. Whether Mr. Henderson received an assignment while stationed in Washington or performed any official duties or functions is not determinative of the question at issue. The operative fact from which the disallowance must result is that during the period in question Mr. Henderson was assigned to Washington regardless of the fact that he may not have been required nor expected to perform any functions while so assigned. For reasons not in dispute, the expenses incurred could not qualify for payment under the home service transfer allowance. 0a1 m o / L ,(& 7ct oo
