IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-00803
INDEX CODE: 136.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED:
NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to reflect that he served 20 years of active
service.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was medically retired at 19 years and 8 months of active service,
just short of having 20 years of service.
In support of his application he submitted a copy of his DD Form 214
and his retirement order.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant contracted his initial enlistment in the Regular Air Force
on 13 Feb 48. He was progressively promoted to the grade of staff
sergeant having assumed that grade effective with a date of rank 1 Apr
53. On 25 Feb 66 he was medically retired with a 50 percent
disability rating.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSD recommends denial. DPSD states service members are eligible
for Concurrent Receipt Disability Pay (CRDP) if they have 20 or more
years of active service. The applicant does not have the required 20
years of active duty service to apply for the CRDP. The evidence of
record does not reflect that an error or an injustice occurred during
the disability process or at time the of separation.
AFPC/DPSD'S complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 27 Jun 08, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant 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, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse 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;
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 decision that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden
of proof of the existence of either an error or an 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.
