DECISION





FILE:   B-192210


MATTER OF: Alvin G. Vaverka, Jr.


DIGEST:


1.  A Navy enlisted man received a general
    discharge due to his fraudulent enlistment
    and was not entitled to receive accrued pay
    and allowances. ,4ecause the basis of with-
    holding pay and allowances is that the enlist-
    ment was fraudulent and not that the discharge
    was less than honorable, the upgrading of the
    discharge to honorable by the Navy Discharge
    Review Board without altering the fact that
    the enlistment was fraudulent does not entitle
    the member to receive the accrued pay and
    allowances

2.  A military member's claim for pay and allowange
    accrues upon discharge and must be filed i4h
                       ffice within the time speci-
    fied i               a or be forever barred
    from ne consideration. ,Thus, a claim for pay
    and allowrnces which accrued upon a member's
    discharge in 1954 and which was not received in
    GAO until 1971 is barred.


             3. A claim for Korean conflict era mustering-out
                pay must have been filed with the Secretary
                of the service concerned before July 17, 1959,
                to be paid.   em= tre   ts no evidence of
                such a filing     aim for such pay may not
                be paid   38 U.S.C. § 2104 (1958).

     Mr. Alvin G. Vaverka, Jr., has requested reconsideration of our
Claims Division's disallowance of his claim for arrears of pay and
allowances which he believes due as the result of a change in the
type of discharge he received from the Navy in 1969. Since, although
the type of discharge was changed, the reason for it (fraudulent
enlistment) was not changed, we must sustain the disallowance of
the claim.

     Having completed three periods of enlistment in the Navy or
the Navy Reserve between 1943 and 1968 with breaks of several years
