RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2009-00052

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His diagnosis of Paranoid Schizophrenia be changed to Post 
Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 
25 August 2009. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances 
surrounding the applicant’s appeal and the rationale of the 
earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at 
Exhibit G. 

 

The applicant submitted a letter, with attachments, requesting 
reconsideration of his case. He indicates the social security 
administrative law judge violated his judicial responsibilities 
by sharing evidence of his military service with state and 
federal officials. The judge had access to every healthcare, 
employment and government record in existence. Documents were 
later used to unlawfully terminate his veteran’s retirement 
benefits. If he had been discharged today, the reason for 
discharge would reflect PTSD. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit H.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

In an earlier finding, the Board determined there was 
insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action. After 
thoroughly reviewing the additional documentation submitted in 
support of this appeal and the evidence of record, we do not 
believe the applicant has overcome the rationale expressed in the 
previous decision. Therefore, we do not find the additional 
evidence presented is sufficient to compel us to recommend 
granting the relief sought on that basis. In the absence of 
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to 
recommend favorable consideration of the applicant’s request. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
