APPLICANT REQUESTS: That his DD Form 214, Report of Transfer or Discharge, be corrected to show that he served 90 days on active duty.
APPLICANT STATES: That he was separated "6 to 7 days before the 90 day requirement" because of medical reasons. He needs the 90 days in order to receive medical benefits.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
He was inducted into the Army of the United States for 2 years on 14 January 1971. He was sent to Fort Polk, Louisiana for Basic Combat Training (BCT). On 25 March 1971, he requested discharge under the provisions of paragraph 5-9, Army Regulation 635-200, by reason of erroneous enlistment. Specifically, he indicated that he did not meet induction/enlistment medical standards as prescribed in chapter 2, Army regulation 40-501.
The applicant was separated on 6 April 1971 for medical reasons under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200 [not further identified]. He had 2 months and 23 days of creditable service.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:
1. In order to justify correction of a military record, the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust. The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy this requirement.
2. There is no error or injustice. The applicant was inducted and immediately sought discharge for medical reasons. His discharge was approved and he was separated with 2 months and 23 days of service. He did not serve 3 months and is not entitled to such a "correction."
3. Eligibility for veteran's benefits (to include medical benefits) does not fall within the purview of this Board. Accordingly, the applicant should contact a local office of the Department of Veterans Affairs for further assistance in that regard.
4. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.
DETERMINATION: The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.
