handle is hein.gao/gaobadjtr0001 and id is 1 raw text is: DECISION FILE: B MATTER OF: DIGEST: -204044 a Dwight L. Fields - Military Backpay Former Army member disputes the accuracy of his military pay account for a period that he was on active duty and contends that he was underpaid. Since the pay record appears correct and the claimant has not proved his claim by providing corroborating documentary evidence the claim may not be allowed. Also, where there is an irreconcilable dispute over facts between an individual claimant and a Government agency, GAO is bound to accept the agency's statement of facts. Mr. Dwight L. Fields requests reconsideration of our Claims Group's September 3, 1980 denial of his claim for military back- pay. The denial is sustained since no evidence of error or other proof of entitlement has been submitted. Mr. Fields, a former enlisted member of the United States Army, questions the accuracy of his military pay vouchers for the period July 1, 1973, through December 31, 1973. Previously Mr. Fields had questioned 31 days' leave he was charged with using during this same period. We have been advised by the Army that the leave charge was erroneous and that payment has been made to Mr. Fields for the leave. As to the correctness of his pay vouchers, the record shows that for July 1973 Mr. Fields was entitled to $307.20 basic pay and that after collection of a $75 allotment, as well as the appropriate deductions of $72.78 which included the Soldiers Home contribution, Servicemen's Group Life Insurance, laundry and withholding taxes, he received a $160 end-of-month payment. For August 1973 he was entitled to $308.37 less the $75 allotment and other appropriate deductions of $63.76, but the balance of $169.76 due him was not paid during the month. For September 1973 his $169.76 balance was brought forward and added to his $342.30 basic pay entitlement. After collections of the $75 allotment, as well as appropriate deductions of $222.61 which included a $150 casual payment (payment made where pay records are not available), his balance due of $214.45 was not paid during the month. For October 1973 Mr. Fields' total entitlements of $441.03 included $363.30 basic pay, $77.55 leave rations, and 18 cents AIN - 2 THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. 0.C. 20548 DATE: September 28, 1981 6 =eIFF
