ADDENDUM TO
                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2004-02625
            INDEX NUMBER:  108.00
      XXXXXXXXXXXX     COUNSEL:  DAV

      XXXXXXX    HEARING DESIRED:  Yes


MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  20 Feb 06


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The 10%  disability  rating  she  was  given  when  removed  from  the
Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL) on 14 Jul 04 be changed to  a
minimum of 30% entitling her to permanent medical retirement.

_________________________________________________________________

RESUME OF CASE:

On 13 and 15 Sep 05, the AFBCMR considered the applicant’s request  as
stated  above  and  voted  to  deny  her   requests   based   on   the
recommendation of the BCMR  Medical  Consultant  (Exhibit  C).   In  a
letter, dated 27 Dec 05 (Exhibit H),  the  applicant’s  representative
from the DAV has submitted a letter from one of the applicant’s former
supervisors contending that the applicant’s  attendance  at  work  was
sporadic  because  of  a  severe   asthmatic   condition.    The   DAV
representative contends that this statement constitutes  new  evidence
warranting reconsideration of the Board’s earlier decision.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After considering the new evidence submitted by the applicant as  well
as the previous evidence of record, we still  do  not  find  that  the
applicant has been the victim of an error or injustice warranting  the
relief requested.  The statement submitted by the applicant’s previous
supervisor is not substantiated by any medical evidence  and,  in  our
view, represents what the supervisor was told by the applicant or  the
supervisor’s own opinion regarding the applicant’s absence from  work.
As such, it does not rise to the level of the type of evidence  needed
to  establish  that  the  applicant’s  disability  rating  should   be
increased to 30 percent and she be awarded  a  disability  retirement.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we do not  find
a basis to grant the relief requested.

_________________________________________________________________

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.

    Her supervisor indicated on the report that feedback was provided, which is true; however, she was only provided an initial feedback. As a result when the additional rater reviewed he expedited his processing and assumed that the proper feedback had been provided based on the date of the feedback. This does not specify that the last performance feedback should be a mid-term feedback date which the applicant states she did not receive.
