AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01713
COUNSEL: NONE
(DECEASED FORMER SERVICE MEMBER)
(APPLICANT) HEARING DESIRED: NO
______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her late fathers records be corrected to reflect his Survivor
Benefit Plan (SBP) coverage reflects she was incapable of self-
support prior to age 18.
______________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is the daughter of a deceased former service
member. The service member elected spouse and child coverage
during the initial enrollment period for SBP. The Social
Security Administration (SSA) determined the applicant was
disabled on 31 May 75. There is no evidence the service member
updated his records to reflect the applicant was disabled as of
Mar 75. On 19 Dec 12, the Board considered and denied the
applicants request noting if she provided documentation showing
she is incapable of self-support, the Board would be willing to
review it for a possible reconsideration. For an accounting of
the facts and circumstances surrounding the applicants request,
and the rationale for the earlier decision by the Board, see the
Record of Proceedings, with Exhibits, at Exhibit D.
In support of her request for reconsideration, the applicant
provides documentation from her physician stating she is totally
and permanently disabled.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In an earlier finding, the Board determined that there was
insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action.
However, the applicant has since provided documentation from her
physician indicating that she is incapable of supporting herself
due to her physical and mental condition. Therefore we believe
sufficient evidence has been provided reflecting the applicants
entitlement to SBP as a disabled child. Therefore, we recommend
the deceased former service members records be corrected as
indicated below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to the DECEASED FORMER SERVICE MEMBER be
corrected to reflect that competent authority determined that
the APPLICANT was incapable of self-support prior to attaining
age of 18.

In the event the applicant provides the requested documents, it would be appropriate to correct the decedents records to reflect his son is permanently incapable of self-support.

Despite the applicants failure to submit a valid former spouse election change, he did not request SBP coverage to terminate following their divorce, indicative of his intent to continue SBP coverage for his former spouse. In this respect, we note 2 the applicant elected spouse and child SBP coverage based on full retired pay prior to his 1 Sep 00 retirement and believe his action to allow SBP premiums to be deducted from his retired pay for years following his divorce without requesting...

_________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: While married, the member elected spouse and child coverage based on a reduced level of retired pay under the SBP prior to his 1 Jun 73 retirement. There is no record of marriage at the time of his death. While counsel argues the former member never married; the evidence of record, specifically, the death certificate states otherwise.

On 22 October 1999, the FSM elected to terminate his participation in the SBP. The applicant's daughter is listed as the annuitant on DFAS's 17 February 2005 letter to the applicant. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by: a. showing the FSM did not request termination of his SBP in October 1999 but continued to remain enrolled in the SBP for child-only coverage; b. collecting any SBP costs due; and c. paying to...

Another dependent child was born on 4 December 1981 after the decedents retirement. DPFFF states there is no evidence of Air Force error; however, to preclude an injustice, they recommend the record be corrected. The members record should be corrected to reflect he elected spouse and child coverage based on full retired pay effective 1 August 1980, and his son is permanently incapable of self- support.
