Question juridique clé
Whether the reimbursement claim for the 2007 EO payments was time-barred.
Solution extraite
Yes. The one-year limitation period began when the compensation office had sufficient indicia and could have obtained the necessary clarification with reasonable diligence; by the time of the June 2010 order, the 2007 claim had expired.
Motifs extraits
The office knew the service member's role, the unusually high number of service days, and the likely share of community-service assignments. It should not have waited for the supervisory authority and could have sought the service authorization itself.
