INDEX NUMBER: 145.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His narrative reason for discharge be changed from secretarial authority to
a medical/disability discharge or medical condition existing prior to
service discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 1 July 2003, the Board considered this application and recommended
invitational travel orders be issued to the applicant for the purpose of
undergoing a physical examination and review by the Medical Evaluation
Board (MEB), and the Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) to determine his
medical condition as of 8 February 2000, and, that the results of the
evaluation be forwarded to the Board so that necessary and appropriate
actions may be completed. See the Record of Proceedings, with attachments
at Exhibit G.
The applicant was issued invitational travel orders and scheduled for a MEB
on 7 November 2003, and did not show for the appointment. He was scheduled
again on 27 February 2004, and again he did not show for the appointment.
On 5 March 2004, AFPC/DPPD returned the case without action based on the
applicant being a no-show for the second appointment. The DPPD evaluation,
with attachments, is at Exhibit H.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In an earlier determination, the Board granted the applicant invitational
orders to undergo a physical examination by a Medical Evaluation Board.
The Board opined that in view of the applicant’s medical problems, he
should be afforded a full MEB to determine if he should have been processed
through disability channels instead of a discharge. However, the applicant
failed on two occasions to avail himself for the physical examination. In
view of the above, and in the absence of persuasive evidence to the
contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
___________________________________________________________________
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.
