The applicant applied for Transfer of Education Benefits (TEB) in July 2010, but on 16 August 2010 AFPC sent a rejection of his application because he did not sign his Statement of Understanding (SOU). The evidence of record indicates that although the applicant applied for TEB in July 2010, he failed to complete the SOU. As such, we find the evidence sufficient to conclude that it is in the interest of justice to recommend correction of his records as indicated below.

However, the Board could find that there was an injustice if the members were on active duty on 1 Aug 09, were not personally counseled about the need to execute a transfer while serving in the Armed Forces, and did not have ready access to DoD and Air Force guidance because of their terminal leave status. The transfer date could be effective as early as 1 Aug 09 and there would be no need to place the member on active duty since the TEB system allows for correction of the record by Air...
