MATTER   OF: Reserve Members  Restored to Duty


DIGEST:   1. Army   members  involuntarily separated from
              but later retroactively restored to active duty
              by administrative record correction action
              (10 U.S.C. 1552 (1970>> thereby become
              entitled to retroactive payment of military
              pay and allowances; however, they do not gain
              entitlement to either reimbursement of legal
              fees incurred in the matter or damages based
              on a tort theory of wrongful separation from
              active duty.

          2.  In the absence of a mutual nlistake in numerical
              computation or similar undisputed error which
              remains' undetected at the time of settlement,
              acceptance of settlement by an Army member
              incident to administrative action taken to correct
              his military records bars the pursuit of further
              claims by the member against the Government
              in the matter. 10 U. S. C. 1552(c) (1970).

          3. Acceptance  of settlement by an Army member  -
              incilent to the administrative correction of his
              mil:.tary records would not operate to bar his
              subsequent request for waiver of erroneous
              payments of military pay and allowances shown
              as debits to his account in the settlement state-
              ment; and the gross amount of such erroneous
              payments could be considered for waiver.
              10 U. S. C. 2774 (Supp. II, 1972).

          4. Requests for waiver of erroneous payments sub-
              mitted by Army members  retroactively restored
              to active duty through the correction of. their
              military records, wi.11 ordinarily be favorably
              considered only to an extent which will prevent
              the individual member from having a net
              indebtedness upon his actual return to duty;
              however, waiver of further amounts may be
              granted for leave payments required to be
              collected but for which due to the statutory leave
              limit, restoration of the leave cannot be made.

                                      PUBLISiED DECISION
                                      57 Compo GCn.
