RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-01385
INDEX NUMBER: 128.14
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect 20 years of active service, rather than
19 years and 3 months of active service, to entitle him to Combat-Related
Special Compensation (CRSC) benefits.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Although he intended to complete 20 years of military service, he was
involved in an accident while flying in a B-52 in 1968. He was disability
retired with 75% of his base pay, in essence, giving him 30 years for pay
purposes. In addition, he retired from the Postal Service after completing
10 years of service, which, when added to his 20 years of Air Force
military service, equals 30 years of government service. As evidenced in
his Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) records, he is totally and
permanently disabled.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant was permanently retired for disability effective 7 November 1968,
with a disability rating of 100%. He completed 19 years, 3 months, and 16
days of active federal military service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPD recommends denial of applicant’s request stating, in part, that
although his disability rating exceeds the required 10% rating, he does not
qualify for CRSC since he did not complete 20 years of active service.
The Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) program, established by
Public Law (PL) 107-314, provides compensation to certain retirees with
combat-related disabilities.
The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 1 July
2004 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response
has been received by this office (Exhibit E).
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant's
complete submission in judging the merits of the case. However, after
careful review of the available records, it appears he has been credited
with all active service creditable under the governing regulation and laws
in effect at the time of his disability retirement. We therefore agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion
that applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of 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.
