ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00611 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His service-connected medical conditions, i.e., arthritis lumbar spine, right hand, degenerative arthritis - left knee, bursitis - right shoulder, frostbite - left foot three toes, and right heel spur be assessed as combat-related in order to qualify for compensation under the Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC) Act. _________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 15 November 2010. 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, with attachments, at Exhibit E. The applicant submitted a letter dated 28 April 2011, requesting reconsideration. In support of his appeal, the applicant provides medical documentation. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit F. _________________________________________________________________ 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 warrant 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 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. _________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2010-00611 in Executive Session on 23 February 2012, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence pertaining to AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2010-00611 was considered: Exhibit E.
