handle is hein.gao/gaobadkcx0001 and id is 1 raw text is: / !DECISION FILE: B-203526 DATE; March 4, 1982 MATTER OF: Richard DIGEST; G, Shidler Payment of a dislocation allowance is not authorized to an Army sergeant who was transferred to Fort Carson, Colorado, in 1977 and lived off post there, Altbough he may have been authorized to1 reside off post due to nonavailability of Government quarters, it is not clear he Qtherwise qualified for the allowance since records are not available to show whether assign-- ment to Fort Carson was permanent or temporary apd to show whether he received a dislocation allowatmce based on another change of station during the same fiscal year. This action is in response to an appeal by former Staff Sergeant Richard G, Shidler, USA, of our Claims Group's disallowance of his claim for a dislocation allowance# His claim arises from his transfer to Fort Carson, Colorado, in 1977. Although, Sergeant Shidler was authorized to live off post near Fort Carson, since the record does not show that his assignment to Fort Carson was a permanent change of station nor that he did not receive a dislo- cation allowance for some other transfer during the same fiscal year, the settlement is sustained. Upon his dischrge from the Army in July 1980, Sergeant Shidler applied for a dislocation allowance at the without dependents rate based on his transfer to Fort Carson, Colorado, in October 1977. He indi- cated that at that time he had no dependents. The Army Finance and Accounting Center disallowed the claim on December 3, 1980, on the basis that the approval of his request to live off base was duo to Sergeant Shidler's desire rather than due to the nonavailability of Government quarters, and thus was not within the intent of Army regulations. Our Claims Group subsequently disallowed the claim on the same basis. TI-1 MPTROLL R %-.-ERAL t OF THE UNITE!D TATE6 WASNHI hG3TO N, 0, 209548
