APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be allowed to transfer his Post-9/11 GI benefits to his
daughter.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He tried to apply for Post 9/11 GI Bill Transfer of Education
Benefits (TEB) in August 2011, but was told he had to make an
election while he was still on active duty. However, he was
already retired when the TEB was implemented; therefore, he
could not make an election.
The applicant does not provide any evidence in support of his
appeal.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who
retired effective 31 January 2009 in the grade of master
sergeant.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force which is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial. DPSIT states that the applicant
retired effective 31 January 2009. The Post 9/11 GI Bill TEB
was not implemented until 1 August 2009. Therefore, he was
ineligible to transfer his education benefits.
The DPSIT complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 10 November 2011, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit C). As of this date, this office has received no
response.
________________________________________________________________
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.
