Reconsideration of Claim for Reimbursement of Real Estate Expenses

An employee requested reconsideration of the denial of his claim for real estate expenses incurred in a transfer of duty station. Although the employee's orders erroneously failed to authorize reimbursement for real estate expenses and were amended 4 months later to correct the error, the 1-year time limitation for reimbursement of real estate expenses may not be extended, and the amendment to orders may not extend the time limitation. The previous decision was affirmed.
