Wiley DIGEST: 1. Non-Governmental civilian attendant who escorted an ill military member from his duty station in Spain to the hospital in the United States seeks reimbursement of actual expenses for food and lodging for time she remained in the area where the member was hospitalized. Since the attendant received reimbursement of actual expenses up to the maximum in the applicable regulation, 1 JTR, para. M6151-4, there is no basis for additional reimbursement. 2. Amendment to 1 JTR, para. M6151-4 increasing maximum actual expense reimbursement for attendants traveling with ill military members in high rate geographical areas from a maximum of $35 a day to the rate received by members on tempo- rary duty cannot be given retroac- tive effect. Attendant's entitle- ments vest at the time of travel under the applicable regulation and a subsequent increase or decrease in entitlements is prospective only unless do-ne to correct a manifest error. 3. Upon ill military member's arrival at medical facility, the member's atten- dant traveling with him has ordinar- ily'completed his or her assignment. The attendant is entitled to reimburse- ment of actual expenses for a reason- able time while awaiting report on patient and arranging for return travel but there is no authority to reimburse the former attendant for subsistence expenses incurred while he or she remains with member for personal reasons. 1,qq'j~
