*Contested FA
On 14 Feb 14, a similar request was considered and denied by the
Fitness Assessments Appeals Board (FAAB), stating The applicant
had a pre-existing injury that was validated by medical, but the
AF Form 108 did not indicate what the medical injury was. Also,
there was no evidence the commander wanted to invalidate the
Fitness Assessment.
Examiners Note: The FAAB references an AF Form 108, Physical
Fitness Education and Intervention Processing, as documentation
of the applicants medical condition. However, the package
submitted to the BCMR does not include an AF Form 108, instead
the applicant provides a Medical Condition Determination
letter referenced above in the applicants contentions.
_______________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial of the applicants request to
change the contested FAs in AFFMS due to the lack of supporting
evidence.
DPSIM references AFI 36-2905, Fitness Program (dated 1 Jul 10)
AFGM 2 (dated 1 Jul 11) Paragraph 13: "If the medical evaluation
validates the illness/injury, the Unit Commander may invalidate
the test results. The applicant did not provide an invalidation
memorandum from her Commander requesting to invalidate the
contested FAs.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIM evaluation, with attachments,
is at Exhibit B.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation, with attachments, was
forwarded to the applicant on 28 Feb 14 for review and comment
within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received
by this office (Exhibit C).
_______________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. After
thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the
applicants contentions, we believe she has met her burden of
establishing the contested FAs should be declared void. The FAAB
disapproved the request, stating that while there was evidence
to support her medical condition, a commander invalidation
letter was not provided. AFPC/DPSIM recommends denial due to
lack of supporting evidence. While we note an invalidation
letter from the commander was not submitted, we recognize the
applicants medical provider indicated on the Medical Condition
Determination letter, that she did in fact have a medical
condition that precluded her from passing the contested FAs.
Given her medical providers recommendation to invalidate the
FAs, we find a totality of the evidence supports favorable
consideration of this request. Therefore, we recommend the
applicants records be corrected as indicated below.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that the
Fitness Assessments, dated 20 Jul 11 and 6 Sep 11 be declared
void and removed from the Air Force Fitness Management System.
