RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05388
COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
She be given service credit to enable her to receive Department
of Veterans Affairs (DVA) benefits.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She left active duty four days short of two years required for
DVA benefits. She was originally scheduled to be discharged on
1 Oct 1984; however, due to pregnancy complications she had to
choose an earlier date. Had she known she would have been
eligible for DVA benefits after two years of service, she would
have held out for four more days to qualify. She was injured on
the job three years ago and spent the last three years trying to
save her leg. She has no health insurance and this is her last
opportunity to pay out of pocket expenses for her medication.
The applicant provides no documents in support of her request.
Her complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 20 Sep 1982, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 9 May 1984, she applied for a separation due to her
pregnancy.
On 14 Sep 1984, she was honorably discharged under the
provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen.
Her narrative reason for separation was Pregnancy. She served
1 year, 11 months and 25 days of total active service.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIPV recommends denial. DPSIPV states that the applicant
requested early separation due to pregnancy. On 9 May 1984, she
submitted her application for early separation due to pregnancy
with a requested separation date of 15 Sep 1984. The actual
separation occurred on 14 Sep 1984. Her request for additional
service credit solely to obtain DVA benefits should be denied.
The complete DPSIPV evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit
B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 11 Jan 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of
this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit
C).
________________________________________________________________
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
rationale as the basis for our conclusion 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.
