AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 99-03081
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
She be discharged for disability with entitlement to severance pay, or that
her name be placed on the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She should have been processed through the active duty Disability
Evaluation System, not the Air National Guard (ANG).
_________________________________________________________________
RESUME OF CASE:
On 25 July 2000, the Board considered the application and found sufficient
evidence to warrant her reevaluation by a Medical Evaluation Board (MEB)
and a Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) to determine her medical condition at
the time of her release from active duty and transfer to the Arizona ANG
(Exhibit A - D).
On 16 November 2000, an MEB convened and recommended she be referred to an
Informal PEB (IPEB).
The IPEB convened on 1 December 2000 and recommended she be returned to
duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Chief, USAF Physical Disability Division, AFPC/DPPD, states that in
accordance with DODI 1332.38, Part I, Paragraph C3a(2), active duty and
Ready Reserve members determined fit do not have an entitlement to a formal
PEB since a finding of fit does not cause involuntary separation for
physical disability.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 26 December 2000, for review and response. As of this date, no response
has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of probable error or injustice. In this respect, we note that
the Board previously determined the applicant should have met an MEB as an
active duty member. In view of this, and to preclude any injustice to the
applicant, the Board recommended she be reevaluated by an MEB and PEB for a
determination as to her medical condition at the time of her release from
active duty and transfer to the ANG. This reevaluation has been completed
and the IPEB has recommended she be returned to duty. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence that she was unfit at the time of her release from
active duty, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the additional 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.
