COUNSEL:  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

 
                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 
 
 
IN THE MATTER OF: 
 
   
   
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
 
His five percent compensable disability rating for hearing loss 
be reinstated. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
When he retired, his record reflected a five percent rating for 
hearing  loss;  however,  when  he  went  to  the  Department  of 
Veterans  Affairs  (DVA)  their  records  reflected  a  rating  of  
zero percent. 
 
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD  Form  214,  Certificate  of  Release  or  Discharge  from  Active 
Duty, issued in conjunction with his 30 Jun 84 retirement. 
 
The  applicant’s  complete  submission,  with  attachment,  is  at 
Exhibit A. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
On  30  Jun  84,  the  applicant  was  relieved  from  active  duty  and 
retired  effective,  1  Jul  84.    He  was  credited  with  20  years, 
6 months, and 16 days of active service for retirement. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
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.  Based upon the 
presumption of regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs 
and  without  evidence  to  the  contrary,  we  must  assume  the 
applicant's  separation  was  proper  and  in  compliance  with 
appropriate directives.  Additionally, we made several attempts 

to retrieve the applicant’s service medical records; however, we 
were  unsuccessful.    Should  the  applicant  provide  additional 
evidence  to  substantiate  his  claim,  we  would  be  willing  to 
reconsider  his  appeal.    Therefore,  based  on  the  available 
evidence  of  record,  we  find  no  basis  upon  which  to  favorably 
consider this application. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 
 
The  applicant  be  notified  the  evidence  presented  did  not 
demonstrate  the  existence  of  material  error  or  injustice;  the 
application  was  denied  without  a  personal  appearance;  and  the 
application  will  only  be  reconsidered  upon  the  submission  of 
newly  discovered  relevant  evidence  not  considered  with  this 
application. 
 
________________________________________________________________
