A reserve member requested review of a settlement disallowing his claim for pay and allowances incident to a disabling injury reportedly sustained while on inactive duty training. The member was not medically examined prior to a subsequent injury for which he claimed benefits as a civilian Government employee and prior to which he had lost no time from his military duty. Since the member failed to demonstrate that the disability was a direct result of the injury sustained in the line of duty, military disability pay was properly not allowed.
