Hopkins When records which would document and verify the validity of a claim are destroyed pursuant to the law relating to the disposal of old records (ch, 33, title 44, U, S, C, and ch, 101, part 101-11, title 41, C. , i, ), the accounting officers of the Government may not give favorable consideratlzn to such claim, This action is in response to a letter dated May 12, 1978, addressed to the United States Army Finance and Accounting Center orom Mr. Ronald P, Hopkins, concerning his entitlement to payment for, accrued leave believed due as a result of a recent upgrading of the discharge lie received on suparation from the United States Army in 1963. The matter of Mr, Hopkins' claim was the subject of settlement by our Claims Division dated March 22, 1978, which allowed him additional sums for the travel he performed from his place of separation to his home, but disallowed payment for accrued leave for the i'eason that his pay and leave records had been destroyed pursuant to law. I , The file in Mr. Hlopkins' case shows that he was separated from the Army effective December 0, 1063, %,and the discharge he received characterized his service as being unLbr other than honorable condi- tions, In 1977, apparently at Mr. ,UopkinsI request, the Army Dis- charge Review Doard considered the matter of his type of discharge and recommendedhnt it be upgraded. On review by the Secretary of the Army, it was .,onclude, that his discharge vns to be adminis- tratively changed to be unde honorable conditions. As a result of that change, certain monetary benefits which were previously unavailable to Mr.;1 Hopkins necrued. They were, addi- tional travel allowances and chtitlement to be paid for accrued but unused leave. Upon presentation of a claim by him to the Finance Center for such benefits, the matter was referred to our Claims Divtsion for disposition with the notation that all pay and leave records for service members separated from the Army prior to 1964 were destroyed. ~~2 S S U -YTHW COMPTrIfltLL-Fdi .ivU hrlflA L 0 1IsIDN0 .PFW.D) F T I-Ifl UtI iDF.tSVYAT LU3 WASHINGSTON.
