I recently switch from active component to national guard, and am being asked to serve on an INCAP board. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
IAW DA PAM 135-381
"The purpose of the board is to-
a. Protect the Soldiers rights by ensuring that medical benefits and incapacitation pay are provided to Soldiers eligible to receive such benefits under law and as prescribed by DOD and Army regulations.
b. Protect the interests of the Government through controlling costs and eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse by Soldiers receiving unauthorized medical care and improper incapacitation payments.
c. Review each incapacitation pay case monthly and recommend that benefits be continued or terminated consistent with entitlement under governing law and regulation.
d. Report directly to the Commander on the status of the incapacitation of RC personnel actions in their command.
Make recommendations to enhance the incapacitation system.
e. Provide uniformity and consistency in the administration of incapacitation pay worldwide.
f. Ensure continuity and unanimity of effort among medical personnel, Finance and Accounting Office (FAO), commanders, installations, U.S. Army Physical Disability Agency (USAPDA), and Soldiers.
g. Investigate and take appropriate action on requests from Soldiers who believe they have been improperly denied due process.
h. Make determinations concerning a Soldier's loss of nonmilitary income.
i. Determine if termination of entitlement to incapacitation pay and allowances is warranted. A formal review by the incapacitation review board is required to determine the facts and circumstances of each individual case involving missed medical appointments or disregarded doctor's orders not to perform military duties or attend training."
