IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03581
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be entitled to medical continuation (MEDCON) on active duty
from 13 Jun 29 Jul 11.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was unjustly released from active duty on 12 Jun 11, because
his medical profile changes were not timely processed. He
should have remained on active duty until 29 Jul 11.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of
AF Forms 469, Duty Limiting Condition Report, dated 28 Mar 11
and 28 Jun 11, AF Form 422, Notification or Air Force Members
Qualification Status, dated 2 Aug 11.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was on a medical continuation order for the period
19 Nov 10 12 Jun 11. On 28 Jun 11, his medical provider
recommended he be medically continued on active duty until
2 Aug 11. On 2 Aug 11, the applicants AF Form 422, reflects he
was Returned to duty with waiver expiring 31 Jul 14.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
NGB/A1PS concurs with the subject matter experts (SME)
recommendation for partial relief. Based on the evaluation by
the SME, they noted that the Air Force Medical Operations Agency
(AFMOA/SGHI) declined MEDCON for this period as the applicant's
profile had expired and his servicing Wing did not provide
updated documentation in the MEDCON request. AFMOA stated in
its 11 Aug 11 email to the NGB/SG that the applicant is
"possibly entitled to MEDCON for the period 28 June 11 to
2 Aug 11 but will have to process his request through the BCMR
program," based on the available documentation.
The complete NGB/A1PS evaluation, with attachments, is at
Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 30 Sep 11 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice warranting
partial corrective action. The Air Force office of primary
responsibility has adequately addressed the issues presented by
the applicant and we are in agreement with their opinion and
recommendation. In addition, while we note the applicant
believes his orders should have started on 13 Jun 11 rather than
28 Jun 11, there is no documentation to show he was unable to
perform his military duties following his initial release from
active duty, until he was placed in a duty limiting status
(AF Form 469) on 28 Jun 11. Accordingly, we agree with the
opinion and recommendation of the NGB OPR that the applicant
should have been placed on medical continuation orders from
28 Jun 11 to 2 Aug 11, the date it was determined the applicant
should be returned to duty. Therefore, we recommend his record
be corrected to the extent indicated below.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that he was
placed on extended active duty for the period 28 June 2011 until
his release from active duty on 2 August 2011.
