DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01856
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
dependents.
_______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was not informed of the Post 9/11 GI Bill Transfer of
Education Benefits (TEB) program during his attendance at the
Transition Assistance Program (TAP). He was unaware that an
election must take place while still serving on active duty.
The applicant does not provide any evidence in support of his
appeal.
The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_______________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who
was released from active duty effective 31 July 2010, in the
grade of technical sergeant (E-6), and retired effective
1 August 2010.
The remaining relevant facts, extracted from the applicant’s
military service records, are contained in the evaluation by
the Air Force office of primary responsibility at Exhibit B.
_______________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial. DPSIT states the applicant
received pre-separation counseling on 6 May 2010. He indicated
on his pre-separation form that he did not want counseling for
education benefits prior to his retirement. There is no record
of the applicant applying for the benefit in TEB or any Right
Now Technologies records.
The complete DPSIT evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit
B.
_______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 25 June 2012, 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 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.
