IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  00-02379
            INDEX CODE:  128.14

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His  records  be  corrected  to  reflect  that  he  was  entitled   to
incapacitation pay for the period 15 Apr 96  to  27  Apr  96,  in  the
amount of $1,325.16.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His  incapacitation  pay  package  was  returned  several  times   for
additional documents.  He was  given  poor  guidance  which  added  to
delays.  He has not received any pay for his civilian wage losses.

In support of his appeal, the applicant provided a statement from  the
Saint Francis Healthcare System of Hawaii, copies of his statements of
earnings, several invoices, a certification  for  incapacitation  pay,
statements of lost wages, income tax form, medical documentation,  and
an AF Form 348, Line of Duty Determination.

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Information extracted from the Personnel Data System  (PDS)  indicates
that the applicant is currently serving on  active  duty  in  the  Air
Force Reserve in the grade of staff sergeant, having been promoted  to
that  grade  on  29  Mar  84.   He  was  credited  with  23  years  of
satisfactory federal service for retirement.

Available documentation indicates that the applicant  was  on  a  Unit
Training Assembly (UTA) weekend from 11 Mar 95 to 12 Mar  95.   On  11
Mar 95, the applicant was at the 704 Civil Engineering Squadron (CES),
Hickam AFB, HI, parking lot.  He was getting his mobility bag  out  of
his truck and hit his face by the door.  He suffered a nasal  fracture
with  left  assymetry,  and  a  small  laceration  to  his  nose.    A
determination was made that the applicant’s injuries were in the  line
of duty (LOD).

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Military Personnel Division, AFRC/DPM, reviewed  this  application
and  recommended  denial.   According  to  DPM,   incapacitation   pay
applications must contain all documentation as outlined in  AFRCI  36-
3004, Incapacitation Pay and  Management  of  Reservist  Continued  on
Active Duty Orders, Table A2.1.  They have contacted the applicant  on
several occasions to obtain necessary  documentation  to  support  his
request.  He has not provided the necessary documentation.

A complete copy of the DPM evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 2 Feb
01 for review and response.  As of this date,  no  response  has  been
received by this office (Exhibit D).

_________________________________________________________________


THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing  law
or regulations.

2.  The application was not  timely  filed;  however,  it  is  in  the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of probable error or  injustice.   The  evidence  of  record
indicates that the applicant was injured during a weekend  UTA  and  a
determination was made that his injuries were in the line of duty.  He
now requests his records be corrected to reflect that he was  entitled
to incapacitation pay.  After  a  thorough  review  of  the  governing
instruction and the evidence presented in support of  the  applicant’s
appeal, we are of the opinion that  the  applicant  has  provided  the
necessary and appropriate documentation to sustain his burden that  he
has been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, we recommend
that the applicant’s records be corrected as indicated below.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT,  be  corrected  to  show  that  on  2  Nov  97,
competent authority determined that because of his injuries of a nasal
fracture with left assymetry, and a small laceration to his  nose,  he
was incapacitated for worldwide duty for the period 15 Apr 96  through
27 Apr 96, and that he was entitled to pay and benefits by  law  based
on the certification of his incapacitation by a medical officer.
