RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05181
COUNSEL: NO
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The debt established as a result of an overpayment be remitted.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She should not be penalized for the overpayment she received
from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS). She
never received notification that she was overpaid. In January
2011, she closed her account, yet DFAS continued to send
payments. She does not understand how she is responsible for
the mistake made by DFAS.
In support of her appeal, the applicant submits a copy of her
bank statements.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserves on 16 November
2010. She was discharged on 9 December 2010. Her narrative
reason for separation was listed as fraudulent entry into
military service. She received an entry level separation and
her service was uncharacterized. The applicant received bi-
monthly base pay and allowances through 15 January 2011.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
DFAS recommends denial. The applicant contends she was not
notified of the debt, yet, the bank statements provided shows
receipt of payment through January. Each deposit is noted as
payment issued by DFAS DE. There is no evidence that the record
should be corrected.
The complete DFAS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 10 December 2012, for review and comment within
30 days (Exhibit D). 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 applicants complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, we agree with the opinion and the
recommendation of the DFAS and adopt its rationale as the basis
for our conclusion and find that 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
favorable consideration of the applicants request.
________________________________________________________________
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.
