IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-1999-01826
INDEX CODE: 108.00
COUNSEL: DISABLED AMERICAN
VETERANS
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect that he was medically discharged
rather than honorably discharged for Conditions That Interfere With
Military Service - Not Disability - Character and Behavior Disorder.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 30 Aug 00, the Board considered and denied an application
pertaining to the applicant, in which he requested that his narrative
reason for his separation be removed. A complete copy of the Record
of Proceedings is at Exhibit F (with Exhibits A through E).
By application, dated 16 Jul 03, the applicant requested that his
records be corrected to reflect that he was medically discharged
rather than honorably discharged for Conditions That Interfere With
Military Service - Not Disability - Character and Behavior Disorder.
He indicated that he was suffering depression and recurrent back pain
and did not make the best choice by accepting an administrative
discharge.
In support of the appeal, the applicant provided documentation from
the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA).
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit G.
By letter, dated 29 Jul 03, the applicant provided additional
documentary evidence, which is attached at H.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice. In an earlier finding, we determined
that there was insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action
regarding the applicant’s request that his narrative reason for his
separation be removed. He now requests that his records be corrected
to reflect that he was medically discharged rather than honorably
discharged for conditions that interfere with military service - not
disability - character and behavior disorder. However, after a
thorough review of the available evidence, we find no evidence that at
the time of his discharge, the applicant was found unfit to perform
the duties of his rank and office within the meaning of the law. In
view of the foregoing, and in the absence of evidence sufficient
evidence of the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend
favorable action on the applicant’s request.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of 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.
