RESUME OF CASE: 

 

On 30 Aug 82, the Board considered and denied applicant’s 
original request to correct his records to show his medical 
problems were service aggravated. In the original case, the 
applicant contended his back did not hurt before he entered the 
Air Force, and the Air Force did not find a problem when he 
initially entered, therefore, his medical problems are service 
aggravated. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances 
surrounding the applicant’s original request and the rationale 
of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of 
Proceedings (ROP) at Exhibit F. 

 

On 20 Jul 83, the applicant submitted another DD Form 149 with 
the same request, and on 4 Oct 83 the Board determined that he 
had submitted no new and/or relevant evidence and denied him 
reconsideration, noting the reiteration of facts previously 
considered and unsupported personal observations are not 
considered a sufficient basis to warrant reconsideration. 

 

On 14 Jun 84, the applicant submitted another DD Form 149 with 
the same request, and on 23 May 85, the Board again determined 
that he had submitted no new and/or relevant evidence and denied 
him reconsideration. 

 

In his latest submission, dated 31 Aug 2011, the applicant 
requests reconsideration of his case based upon new evidence. 
The new evidence is comprised of a restatement of his previous 
contentions, a letter from his physician, and excerpts from his 
Radiology Report. 

 


In support of his latest submission, the applicant provides a 
transmittal memo, and copies of an expanded statement, a letter 
he sent to the President, a letter from a physician, and 
selected pages from his 10 Nov 11 Radiology Reports. 

 

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

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. We have thoroughly reviewed the evidence of record and 
considered the weight and relevance of the additional 
documentation provided by the applicant, and whether or not it 
was discoverable at the time of any previous application. While 
we find the additional statements and medical documentation 
rendered in the applicant’s behalf new, we do not find it 
relevant. As the applicant has been previously advised, 
reconsideration is provided only where newly discovered relevant 
evidence if presented which was not available when the 
application was submitted. Further, the reiteration of facts we 
have previously addressed, uncorroborated personal observations, 
or additional arguments on the evidence of record are not 
adequate grounds for reopening a case. Therefore, in view of 
the above and in the absence of new and relevant evidence, we 
find no basis to reconsider the applicant’s request. 

 

2. The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved. 
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified the additional evidence presented did 
not meet the criteria for reconsideration by the Board; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
