duration of those orders.   

She was on MPA Non-Contingency orders from 9 through 30 June

2014.  She was on MPA Contingency Orders from 12 July 2014

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a member of the Air National Guard serving in 
the grade of staff sergeant.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

DFAS-IN recommends approval [sic].  The applicant has requested 
payment for Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) type I from 9 June 
2014 through 11 July 2014.  This rate is based on the zip code 
for the applicant’s home of record.  The applicant was paid BAH 
type II, table rate based on rank, for Non-Contingency Orders 
and Annual Training Orders for the period in question. 

The rate paid for the period in question is correct as per 
Department of Defense Finance Management Regulation. The 
applicant’s status is the determining factor when paid for BAH. 
The applicant’s orders are not for a continuous period, but have 
a one-day break.  The applicant did not start Contingency Orders 
until 12 July 2014; there is no entitlement to the higher rate 
of BAH until that date. 

The rate the applicant has been paid is correct.  No correction 
of military record is required. 

The complete DFAS-IN evaluation is at Exhibit B.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 7 July 2015 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit C).  As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office.


THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

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

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice.  We took 
notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case.  While we note DFAS-IN’s recommendation to 
approve the case, they also note the applicant has been paid the 
correct amount of BAH for the period in question based on her 
military status.  Accordingly, we find the applicant has not 
been the victim of an error of injustice.  In the absence of 
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting 
the requested relief.


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
