_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic  on
15 September 2000.

On 26 August 2002, her commander notified her that he was recommending
her for a discharge for  mental  disorders-conditions  that  interfere
with military based on the following:

      (1) On 21 October 1996, applicant was seen by mental health as a
voluntary walk-in patient. She reported a significant increase in  her
depressive symptoms secondary to self-discontinuing her antidepressant
medication and being on temporary duty  (TDY)  for  technical  school.
Applicant  presented  the  following  symptoms;   severe   depression,
hopelessness,  being  easily  overwhelmed,  anxiety,  hypersomnia  and
decreased appetite.

      (2) Past history and present psychological  evaluation  indicate
the presence of a personality disorder that is so  severe  applicant’s
ability  to  function  effectively  in  a  military   environment   is
significantly impaired.  Applicant is likely to respond to  the  usual
demands of an Air Force lifestyle (i.e., education/training and  work-
related duties) with continued symptoms of mood disturbance,  somatic,
complaints and inappropriate behaviors that would be  very  disruptive
to the work environment.

      (3) The diagnosis from mental health evaluation was:

           a.  Axis  I:  Major  Depressive  Disorder,  Severe  without
Psychotic Features (rule out eating disorder).

           b. Axis II: Borderline Personality Disorder.

           c. Axis III: Outpatient medical record  not  available  for
review.

Applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification  of  discharge  and
after consulting with legal counsel  waived  her  right  to  submit  a
statement in her own behalf.  The  discharge  authority  approved  the
separation and directed the applicant be discharged with an  honorable
discharge  without  probation  and  rehabilitation.    Applicant   was
discharged  under  the  provisions  of  AFI  36-3208,   Administrative
Separation of Airmen (conditions not a disability), with an  honorable
discharge. She served 2 years, 5 months and 28 days  of  total  active
military service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS  recommends  denial  and   states   that   based   on   the
documentation on file in the  master  personnel  records,  applicant’s
correct  effective  date  of  separation  is  12  September  2002,  as
reflected on her DD Form 214.  Applicant did not and has not submitted
any documentation showing her correct  effective  date  of  separation
should be 19 September 2002, other than  the  DD  Form  214  that  was
erroneously issued with an effective date of  19 September 2002.

On 12 September 2002, the 9th Mission  Support  Squadron,  Beale  AFB,
California  reflecting  an  effective  date  of  separation  of     12
September 2002 issued Special  Order  Number  AA-0334.   The  Military
Personnel Flight (MPF) inadvertently issued a DD Form  214  reflecting
an effective date of separation of                19  September  2002.
This documented based on the fact  when  the  unit  personnel  records
group (UPRG) arrived at staging area at the Air Force Personnel Center
(AFPC) there was no  separation  orders  on  file.  Separation  orders
requested from Beale AFB and upon receipt corrective action was  taken
to correct applicant’s DD Form 214 to reflect a DOS  of  12  September
2002. Applicant was contacted on 15 April 2005 via  email  to  provide
any documentation indicating she remained  on  active  duty  until  19
September 2002 and applicant has provided no documentation.

AFPC/DPPRS complete evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 6
May 2005, for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date,  no
response has been received by this office.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.    The applicant has exhausted all remedies  provided  by  existing
law or regulations.

2.    The application was not timely filed; however, the Board excused
the failure to timely file.

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.
The applicant  contends  that  the  separation  date  change  made  by
AFPC/DPPRSP caused her to acquire an over payment debt. She requests a
change of that date to  void  this  payment.  However,  after  careful
review of the available records, it appears that  her  debt  for  over
payment has been corrected by  DFAS.   We  therefore  agree  with  the
opinion  and  recommendation  of  the  Air  Force  office  of  primary
responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion
that the applicant has not been the  victim  of  a  further  error  or
injustice.  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 a 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.
