RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-04428
COUNSEL: NO
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her records be corrected to reflect she was retired by reason of
medical disability effective 11 Jul 95.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her military Identification (ID) card, Veterans Administration,
United Healthcare Military and Veterans Tricare Prime records do
not reflect her disability retirement was effective 11 Jul 95,
which makes it invalid.
Tricare believes she retired in 2011, which affects her premiums
and benefits.
In support of her appeal, the applicant provides copies of her
DD Form 214, a special order, memorandum, and certificate of
marriage registration.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to special order number ACD-349, dated 18 Nov 93, on
28 Dec 93, the applicant was relieved from active duty. On
29 Dec 93, the applicants name was placed on the Temporary
Disability Retired List (TDRL). She was credited with 11 years
and 18 days of active service.
According to the AFMPC/DPPDS, memorandum dated 11 Jul 95, the
Secretary of the Air Force (SECAF) directed the applicants name
be removed from the TDRL and she be permanently retired under
the provisions of Title 10, United States Code 1201.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIZ recommends denial. The Defense Enrollment
Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) correctly reflects the
applicants effective date of retirement as 29 Dec 93. A review
of the applicants DEERS history did not reveal any
inconsistencies regarding her retirement and eligibility to
medical benefits such as Tricare. DEERS reflects the
applicants retired ID card was issued on 6 Sep 11; however, the
ID card issuance itself on 6 Sep 11, did not create her
eligibility to DEERS or establish her record as a retired Air
Force member.
The complete DPSIZ evaluation is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANTS REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 8 Nov 13, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit C). As of this date, this office has not received a
response.
_________________________________________________________________
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. We took notice of the
applicants 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 the
rationale expressed as the basis for our conclusion the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. In
view of the above and 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.
