APPLICANT REQUESTS: In effect, that his records be corrected to show his pay grade as E-4 instead of E-3 and that his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) be corrected to show his social security number (SSN) as 2--8- 9--- instead of 3--8- 9---.
In regard to the applicant's request for correction of his SSN, he submits a copy of his Virginia State Identification Card. This matter was addressed by separate correspondence and will not be addressed further in this memorandum.
APPLICANT STATES: In effect, that he was honorably discharged with severance pay; however, he was paid as an E-3. He contends that his pay grade was E-4 and he should have been paid as an E-4. In support of his application he submits a copy of Standard Form 88 (Report of Medical Examination) showing his pay grade as SP4/pay grade E-4.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
He was inducted into the Army of the United States on 19 May 1970. On 14 April 1972, the applicant was honorably discharged from active duty under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-40, chapter 9, for Expeditious Discharge for Disabilities Existing Prior to Service.
Unit Orders #46, dated 17 December 1970, from Company E, 2nd Battalion, First Basic Combat Training Brigade, U. S. Army Training Center, Infantry and Fort Lewis, Fort Lewis, Washington, show the applicant was promoted to pay grade E-3.
Item 33 (Appointments and Reductions) of the applicant's DD Form 20 (Enlisted Qualification Record) shows his highest pay grade held as E-3 effective
17 December 1970.
There are no orders in the applicant's service personnel records that show he was promoted to E-4 subsequent to 17 December 1970.
The applicant provided a copy of his Standard Form 88, dated November 1971, which shows his pay grade as E-4.
Special Orders #108, dated 17 April 1972, from Headquarters, U.S. Army Personnel Center, Fort Dix, New Jersey approving his discharge shows his pay grade as E-3.
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. The Board considered the applicant's contention that his pay grade was E-4 at the time of his separation.
2. The evidence of record shows the applicant's highest pay grade as E-3.
3. There are no orders in the applicant's service personnel records that show he was promoted to E-4.
4. The Standard Form 88 provided by the applicant is not an authority for promotion. Therefore, it is insufficient as a basis to change the applicant's records to show he was separated in pay grade E-4.
5. 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.
6. 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.

At the time of the applicant's REFRAD, it stated the complete name and SSN of the separating service member would be entered on the DD Form 214. The evidence of record shows that either a TIN or an invalid SSN was used throughout the applicant's military service. However, based on the evidence of record, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant's DD Form 214 to show his correct SSN in item 30 (Remarks).

However, his separation orders listed his rank as a SP4 and his DD Form 214 also listed his rank and grade as a SP4/E-4, effective 10 May 1971.
