         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:				DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-04084

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED: NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

She receives Incapacitation (INCAP) Pay, for the period of 
2 December 2009 through 1 April 2010.  

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She believes the record to be in error and unjust because the 
dates on record do not reflect the full duration of her 
incapacitation and she has not received INCAP pay.  

In support of her request, the applicant submits copies of her 
AF IMT 348, Line of Duty Determination, report of medical 
evaluation letter dated 29 November 2005, statements of earned 
civilian income,  and email correspondence pertaining to her 
INCAP pay application.  

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

1.  According to documents extracted from the Air Force 
Automated Records Management System (ARMS) and the Military 
Personnel Database System (MilPDS), the applicant is a former 
member of the Air Force Reserve who enlisted on 24 July 1989, 
was progressively promoted to the grade of Master Sergeant 
(MSgt) E-7, and was relieved from active duty on 
27 September 2010 and permanently disability retired on 
28 September 2010, with a compensable percentage for physical 
disability of 40 percent.  

2.  The applicant originally submitted her request for 
correction of her record to approve incapacitation pay for lost 
wages from 2 December 2009 through 1 April 2010, to the AFBCMR 
on 3 October 2011.  The Air Force office of primary 
responsibility reviewed her request and determined that she had 
not exhausted her administrative remedies for requesting 
incapacitation pay in accordance with AFI 36-2603, Air Force 
Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR) paragraph 3.3. 
On 14 June 2012, the applicant was sent a memorandum, which 
directed that her application be returned without further 
action.

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

ARFRC/A1K recommends approval.  A1K states that the applicant’s 
assertion that she is eligible for incapacitation pay due to 
injuries received that were determined to be in the line of duty 
(ILOD) have been validated.  They further state that the 
applicant has submitted all the necessary documentation and 
meets the requirements for entitlement to incapacitation pay 
outlined in AFRCI 36-3004, Incapacitation Pay and Management of 
Reservist Continued on Active Duty Orders, and DoDI 1241.2, 
Reserve Component Incapacitation System Management, paragraph 
6.2.1.1, which is full pay and allowances minus earned income.  

The complete AFRC/A1K evaluation, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 3 March 2014, for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  To date, a response has not been received.  

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

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

2.  The application was timely filed.  

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  After 
considering the totality of the evidence before us, and noting 
the approval recommendation from AFRC/A1K, we are persuaded that 
relief is warranted in this case.  We agree with their 
recommendation and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis 
for our decision that the applicant has been the victim of 
either an error or an injustice.  Therefore, we recommend the 
applicant’s record 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 competent 
authority approved her request for incapacitation pay and 
allowances, for the period 2 December 2009 through 1 April 2010.
