MATTER  OF:   Travel and Transportation Claim--
              Mrs. Estelle L. Brown

DIGEST:   The widow of an Ar-my member, whose service
          records were corrected nearly 5 years after
          his death to show that he was placed on the
          Temporary Disability Retired List, became
          entitled to home of selection move by virtue
          of that correction. While the move was
          actually performed at the widow's personal
          expense more than 1 year after the member's
          death, since it was performed prior to the
          record correction, she became entitled to be
          reimbursed the amount it would have cost the
          Government for the move, including packing,
          180 days' temporary storage and drayage from
          storage to her home. However, claims for
          personal time, interest, and insurance are
          not payable.


     This action is in response to correspondence from
Mrs. Estelle L. Brown, requesting a review of a settle-
ment in her case which disallowed in part her claim for
reimbu sement for t-re transportation of he-r household
goods to her home of selection as the surviving depend-
ent of the late Master Sergeant Frank W. Brown, USAF,
Retired.

     Sergeant Brown was released from active duty on
June 18, 1969. Apparently, he was hospitalized at
Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, at that time and
thereafter was treated by both Air Force and civilian
physicians on an outpatient basis until his death on
March 29, 1970.

     In August 1970, Mrs. Brown apparently rented a
trailer and transported some of her belongings to
Florida.  On April 1, 1971, her remaining goods were
picked up by a moving company and transported to.
Fort Myers, Florida, where they were placed in
storage.  They were moved from storage to Mrs. Brown's
home in Cape Coral, Florida, in December 1974.
