                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  97-03260
            INDEX NUMBER:  108.04

            COUNSEL:  NY DIV OF VET AFFAIRS

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

___________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be permanently retired for disability retroactive to 30 June 1976.

___________________________________________________________________

RESUME OF CASE:

On 18 June 1998, the AFBCMR considered and  denied  a  similar  appeal
(Exhibits A through E).

On 29 June 1998, the applicant submitted a request for reconsideration
of the Board’s decision through his Congressman  (Exhibit  F).   After
reviewing the documentation submitted, the determination was made that
it did not meet the criteria for  reconsideration.   Accordingly,  his
request for reconsideration was denied (Exhibit G).

On 27 October  1998,  applicant’s  counsel  submitted  a  request  for
reconsideration,  through   applicant’s   Congressman   (Exhibit   H).
Following a review of the request,  which  contained  essentially  the
same information reviewed by the Board when  the  case  was  initially
considered, the determination was  made  that  it  did  not  meet  the
criteria for reconsideration (Exhibit I).

In a 22 March 1999 letter to the Acting Secretary of  the  Air  Force,
applicant and his counsel requested  reconsideration  of  the  Board’s
decision.  In  addition  to  documentation  previously  provided,  the
applicant furnished information  associated  with  medical  treatments
received between 1995 and 1998 (Exhibit J).

___________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After careful consideration of the evidence of  record  and  counsel’s
most recent submission, we find that no evidence  has  been  presented
showing that, at the time of  applicant’s  separation,  the  diagnoses
made by competent medical authority and applicant’s subsequent removal
from the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL) were either improper
or based on erroneous information.  In addition, no evidence has  been
presented that would lead us to believe that the applicant’s rights to
due process were violated during the disability processing.   In  view
of the foregoing, and in the absence of persuasive evidence  that  the
applicant was improperly evaluated, the ratings assigned at  the  time
of his removal from the TDRL were erroneous, or  that  he  was  denied
rights to which entitled during  the  disability  processing,  we  are
unpersuaded that a revision of our earlier determination is warranted.

___________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

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