ADDENDUM TO
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2009-00052
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His diagnosis of Paranoid Schizophrenia be changed to Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on
25 August 2009. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances
surrounding the applicants appeal and the rationale of the
earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at
Exhibit G.
The applicant submitted a letter, with attachments, requesting
reconsideration of his case. He indicates the social security
administrative law judge violated his judicial responsibilities
by sharing evidence of his military service with state and
federal officials. The judge had access to every healthcare,
employment and government record in existence. Documents were
later used to unlawfully terminate his veterans retirement
benefits. If he had been discharged today, the reason for
discharge would reflect PTSD.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit H.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In an earlier finding, the Board determined there was
insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action. After
thoroughly reviewing the additional documentation submitted in
support of this appeal and the evidence of record, we do not
believe the applicant has overcome the rationale expressed in the
previous decision. Therefore, we do not find the additional
evidence presented is sufficient to compel us to recommend
granting the relief sought on that basis. In the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to
recommend favorable consideration of the applicants request.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

The AFBCMR Medical Consultant states even though PTSD may not have been an available diagnosis at the time of the applicant's military service, a mental health professional would have/should have been able to extract and list any signs and symptoms believed to be the result of an identifiable trauma, and to include these in the narrative summary if they were present at the time of evaluation. The AFBCMR Medical Consultant's complete evaluation is at Exhibit...
