name. She received a letter from the Defense Finance and 
Accounting Service (DFAS), retired and annuity pay section, 
regarding a name discrepancy between DFAS and the Department of 
Veterans Affairs (DVA) records. 

 

In support of her application, the applicant submits a copy of

Exhibit A.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSIRP recommends denial. DPSIRP states that AFI 36-2608, Military Personnel Records System, requires the source document 
for the requested change be either the original or a certified or 
notarized copy of the original. On 12 March 2010, DPSIRP advised 
the applicant on the proper requirement; however, she has not 
provided the necessary documentation. 

 

The complete DPSIRP evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 


A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 30 July 2010 for review and comment within 30 days. As of 
this date, this office has received no response (Exhibit D). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 
rational 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 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.

    Her records be corrected to reflect her name change. For these reasons, she believes her request to change her gender on her military records be allowed. We note the SAF/MR memorandum dated 9 March 2015, states that corrections to the DD Form 214 should be for the limited purposes of mitigating an injustice caused by use of the DD Form 214.
