IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-00117
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 15 JUL 07
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her records be corrected to reflect her eligibility for Concurrent
Retirement and Disability Payment (CRDP).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She took her oath of office and became a member of the Air Force on 29 Mar
63, which would credit her with over 20 years of service for purposes of
qualifying her for the CRDP.
In support of her appeal, the applicant provides a copy of AF Form 133,
Oath of Office (Military Personnel).
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant’s military personnel records indicate she was appointed a second
lieutenant, Reserve of the Air Force, on 29 Mar 63, and was voluntarily
ordered to extended active duty on 22 Aug 63.
On 24 May 83, a Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) convened and established a
diagnosis of recurrent L5 radiculopathy on the left secondary to epidural
scarring of the L5 nerve root. The MEB recommended the applicant’s case be
forwarded to a Physical Evaluation Board (PEB).
On 2 Jun 83, an Informal Physical Evaluation Board (IPEB) convened and
established a diagnosis of recurrent L5 radiculopathy on the left secondary
to epidural scarring of the L5 nerve root, status post Apr 82 and Feb 83
lumbar laminectomies. The IPEB recommended temporary retirement of the
applicant with a compensable disability rating of 40 percent.
On 14 Jun 83, the applicant agreed with the findings and recommended
disposition of the IPEB.
On 25 Jul 83, the applicant was relieved from active duty and, effective 26
Jul 83, her name was placed on the Temporary Disability Retired List
(TDRL). She was credited with 19 years, 11 months, and 4 days of active
service for retirement, and 20 years, 3 months, and 27 days for basic pay.
By Special Order ACD-988, dated 31 Mar 86, the applicant’s name was removed
from the TDRL and she was permanently retired by reason of physical
disability in the grade of major, with a compensable disability rating of
40 percent.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS-RPB-TQAL/CL) indicated
that under the CRDP, an eligible disability retiree is defined as having
(a) at least 20 years of service computed under 10 USC 1405; or, (b) at
least 20 years of service computed under 10 USC 12732. Unless it can be
established that the applicant performed an additional 26 years of active
service, or that she has completed 20 years of qualifying service under 10
12732 and is age 60, she has no entitlement to the CRDP.
A complete copy of the DFAS-RPB-TQAL/CL evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Applicant reviewed the advisory opinion and furnished a response indicating
she has provided proof that she had 20 plus years of service for pay
purposes, and she believes she should be eligible for CRDP. It is only
fair that she receive this extra pay as she did not leave active duty for
any other reason than her sustaining back injuries which were service
related.
Applicant’s complete response is at 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, we 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 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.
