RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-1992-00641-2
INDEX CODE: 128.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
In the applicant’s request for reconsideration he requests that his records
be corrected to reflect that he be entitled to medical benefits and monthly
retirement pay.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
In an application to the Board dated 5 February 1992, the applicant
requested his records be corrected to reflect that he be entitled to
medical benefits and monthly retirement pay.
On 16 June 1992, the Board considered and denied the applicant’s request.
A complete copy of the Record of Proceedings (ROP), with attachments, is at
Exhibit E.
In an application to the Board dated 13 September 2006, the applicant
requests reconsideration. He states he was honorably discharged under
medical conditions diagnosed with a personality disorder with over 16 years
of service. Subsequent to his discharge he continued to see a psychiatrist
and was informed that he did not have a personality disorder, but in fact,
he has bi-polar disorder. Bi-polar disorders are genetic and he has had
this disorder since birth but was never diagnosed. The Air Force allowed
him entrance with this disorder, yet refused to help him when it became
prominent. He believes he is entitled to medical retirement pay and
benefits for his time of service as well as for the misdiagnosis on the
part of military doctors. Applicant’s complete submission, with
attachments is at Exhibit F.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The AFBCMR Medical Consultant recommends denial. The BCMR Medical
Consultant states the applicant was administratively separated under
provisions of AFR 39-10 for unsuitability due to adjustment and personality
disorder. In the months leading up to discharge action, the applicant
underwent mental health evaluation by competent psychiatric specialists who
reportedly diagnosed Adjustment Disorder and Personality Disorder. The
fact that he was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder several years later, does
not by itself invalidate the prior diagnoses made while in the service.
The applicant submits mental health documentation dating back to 1998 that
indicates the applicant was initially diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in
1995, ten years after discharge.
Available evidence indicates that action and disposition in this case are
proper and equitable reflecting compliance with Air Force directives that
implement the law.
The complete evaluation is at Exhibit G.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 20 March 2007, the evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review
and comment within 30 days (Exhibit H). As of this date, this office has
received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice. The applicant’s contentions are duly
noted; however, after reviewing the available evidence of record, it is
our opinion that the discharge appears to be in compliance with the
governing AF instruction which implements the law. We find no evidence
of error in this case and we do not believe he has suffered from an
injustice. Evidence has not been provided to show that at the time of
his discharge, a condition existed which would have warranted processing
through the DES under standards existing at the time. In view of the
above and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of an error or injustice; the application was denied without
a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon
the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with
this application.

Since this condition is unsuiting for military service, the applicant underwent entry level separation. The BCMR Medical Consultant evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPRS recommends the application be denied and states, in part, that even though the applicant was on active duty after 180 days of continuous active service, the process of his discharge began before that point in time. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that...
