AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-00597
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her narrative reason for separation be changed from “Hardship” to a medical
disability discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 17 February 2004, the applicant’s request to change her narrative reason
for separation be changed from “Hardship” to a medical disability discharge
was considered and denied by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at
Exhibit F.
On 28 March 2004, the applicant provided additional evidence and requested
reconsideration of her application. In support of her request, she
provided copies of Medical Examinations and letters from her doctors.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit G.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
Again, after a thorough review of the evidence of record, we see no
evidence of an error in this case and remain unpersuaded that she has been
the victim of an injustice. We are not persuaded by the additional
evidence provided that a disqualifying condition or physical disability
existed at the time of her separation that would have rendered her eligible
for processing under the Disability Evaluation System. Therefore, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the BMCR Medical Consultant that the
actions taken in her case were proper, equitable and in compliance with Air
Force directives and the law. In view of the foregoing, we find no basis
to favorably consider 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.

She currently receives treatment through the VA. For these reasons, she is asking that her military record be corrected to reflect a medical discharge for the disqualifying medical conditions that she had while still on active duty. A review of the service medical record finds a history of headaches, which existed prior to service. The neurology evaluation report is not present in the record.
