ion for Correction of Military Records 

This responds to a request for a BCMR advisory 

is requesting his 

records be changed to show he was due reimbursement for his overseas housing allowance 
(OHA) under a different, higher, OHA rate ceiling than the one he was under while assigned to 

By way of backgroun 

s assigned t
e A B  during a time when 
erienced severe devaluation.  This caused 

currencies in several major 
problems for many military members serving in these areas who were living on the economy and 
had either received OHA advances to pay their rent up front; or had leases written in U.S. Dollars 
instead of the local currency, in this case-on. 
Transportation Allowances Committee  (PDTATAC) was able to implement a solution to the 
problem for members who had received OHA advances but could not devise a similar solution 
for individuals lik 

o had their leases written in U.S. Dollars. 

The Per Diem, Travel, and 

Members in this situation were given rental advances for the remainder of their leases so 

they could be moved under the protected OHA rate and not lose any more money.  It was 
suggested that they attempt to recoup lost funds through the BCMR process. 

Therefore, we recommend the Board gran 
to reflect that he received a rental advance and, a 
OHA rate.  My point of contact for this advisory i
