APPLICANT REQUESTS: That he be paid $8,000.00 in Incentive Specialty Pay (ISP) that he is due.
APPLICANT STATES: That he was due $38,000.00 in ISP for the period of 1 July 1992 to 30 September 1995 but he only received $30,000.00 of that money.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
The applicant was commissioned as a USAR medical corps captain on 19 June 1985 with a concurrent call to active duty. He was promoted to the rank of major and he continued to serve until he was honorably released from active duty on 15 December 1995 and was transferred to the USAR Control Group (Reinforcement). He had served 10 years, 5 months, and 27 days of total active service.
In the processing of this case an advisory opinion was obtained (COPY ATTACHED) from the Army Medical Department (AMEDD) Special Pay Branch of the Office of the Surgeon General (OTSG). It opined, in effect that the applicant was entitled to $30,000.00 in ISP for the period 1 July 1992 to 30 September 1995 and that the applicant was paid all of his entitlements during that period.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, and advisory opinion(s), it is concluded:
1. In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust. The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy the aforementioned requirement.
2. The applicant’s contention’s have been noted by the Board. However, in the absence of evidence that disputes the computations of the AMEDD Special Pay Branch and the payments by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), there is no basis to grant the applicant any additional pay for the period in question.
3. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.
DETERMINATION: The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.
