If a member is Duty Not Including Flying (DNIF) for medical reasons, how long can they continue earning CSIP?

When a member is classified as Duty Not Including Flying (DNIF) for medical reasons, they are not performing flying duties but can still earn Crew Slight Incentive Pay (CSIP) for a certain period. According to regulations, a member can continue to earn CSIP for up to 365 days while DNIF due to medical conditions. This allowance is intended to support personnel who may be temporarily unable to fly but still maintain their operational readiness and financial compensation.

This period of one year underscores the importance of retention of skilled personnel within the flying community and provides them with time to recover from medical conditions while still being recognized for their flying experience and previous service. It reflects the military's commitment to take care of its members and ensure that they are supported during times of medical need.
