RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02720 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

He be allowed to transfer his Post-9/11 GI Bill Transfer 
Eligibility Benefits (TEB) to his dependent son. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

On 26 Feb 10, he submitted his Transfer Request form to the 
Veteran Affairs (VA) office. He did not enroll his son as a 
dependent because he was an active duty Air Force member at the 
time. 

 

On 12 Aug 10, his son was separated from active duty with a 
general discharge and is not eligible for GI Bill benefits. He 
would like to transfer 12 months of his TEB to his son. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his 
transfer request. 

 

The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 31 Jan 03, the applicant was discharged for retirement. On 
29 Oct 09, he was returned to active duty through the retired 
rated recall program. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, 
extracted from the applicant’s military records, are contained in 
the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at 
Exhibit C. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 


AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

HQ AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial. DPSIT states eligible family 
members must be reported in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility 
Reporting System (DEERS) and be eligible for benefits as defined 
by law at the time of approval of the member’s request. The 
applicant’s son was not listed in DEERS and did not meet 
“dependent” requirements. DPSIT notes eligible family members 
must be less than 23 years old and be enrolled in a full-time 
course of study. 

 

The complete DPSIT 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 16 Sep 11, 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 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 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.
