Payments File: B-229109 Date: June 8, 1988 DIGEST Upon being discharged from the Air Force in July 1982, a member was entitled to pay for 13 days of work and 1/2 day of accrued leave. Due to an administrative error, leave taken just prior to her discharge date was added to her separation payment, resulting in an overpayment of $180.27.

As a result, she erroneously received a separation payment of $743.68, causing an overpayment of $180.27. In her request for waiver, Ms. Chambers indicated that she had personally delivered her request for leave for the period July 22-28 on June 1, 1982, in accordance with Air Force procedures. Further, she indicated that she reviewed
