AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice. IAW AFI 36-3003, Military Leave 
Program, the Financial Services Office determines payment or 
forfeiture of accrued leave at the time of separation for 
members separating under “for cause” provisions or other 
separatees required to separate at the earliest possible date. 
The applicant has not demonstrated a clear error or injustice. 


A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation is at Exhibit C.

11 Jul 13, along with a request for post-service information. 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit F). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 an error or injustice. We took 
notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinions and 
recommendations of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service 
and Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt 
their rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant 
has not been the victim of an error of injustice. Therefore, in 


the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to 
recommend granting the requested relief. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
