COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be allowed to transfer his Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to his
dependent.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
On 14 Mar 11, he submitted an application to transfer his Post-
9/11 GI Bill benefits to his dependent son. He did not discover
the error until 5 days after his son turned 23.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of VA
22-1990, Application for VA Education Benefits and a physician’s
memorandum.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is currently serving on active duty in the Air
National Guard.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate offices of
the Air Force, which are attached at Exhibits B and C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
NGB/A1YR recommends approval.
A1YR states the applicant started the process to transfer his
Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to his son prior to leaving on a
deployment. However, the request was submitted through the
wrong TEB website. By the time, the applicant returned from his
deployment and became aware of the application error, he was
unable to process the correct TEB request because his son had
turned 23 years old.
The complete A1YR evaluation is at Exhibit B
NGB/A1PS concurs with the NGB Subject Matter Expert’s (SMEs)
advisory and recommends approval of the applicant’s request to
transfer his Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits.
The complete A1PS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 27 Mar 12 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has not received a
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 note the
comments of the Air Force offices of primary responsibility that
if the Board finds there was an injustice, they recommend
approval; however, we find the evidence provided is insufficient
to recommend granting the applicant’s request. While the
applicant states he submitted an application to transfer his
Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits on 14 Mar 11; however, ,it appears he
did not exercise due diligence in transferring his benefits
after the 1 Aug 09 implementation date and prior to his
deployment in Mar 11. The applicant’s VA 22-1990, Application
for VA Education Benefits reflects he had been on continuous
active duty for the prior 10 years and specifically from
1 August 2009 to at least 31 Jul 11. Therefore, in the absence
of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this application
