IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 3 December 2013
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20130007427
THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:
1. Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).
2. Military Personnel Records and advisory opinions (if any).
THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant requests, in effect, correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to show the last digit of his social security number (SSN) as 6.
2. The applicant states he needs his DD Form 214 corrected for the purpose of filing a Department of Veterans Affairs claim.
3. The applicant provides copies of his social security card and DD Form 214.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. Title 10, U.S. Code, section 1552(b), provides that applications for correction of military records must be filed within 3 years after discovery of the alleged error or injustice. This provision of law also allows the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) to excuse an applicant's failure to timely file within the 3-year statute of limitations if the ABCMR determines it would be in the interest of justice to do so. While it appears the applicant did not file within the time frame provided in the statute of limitations, the ABCMR has elected to conduct a substantive review of this case and, only to the extent relief, if any, is granted, has determined it is in the interest of justice to excuse the applicant's failure to timely file. In all other respects, there are insufficient bases to waive the statute of limitations for timely filing.
2. The applicant served on active duty in the Army of the United States from 26 May 1965 through 12 May 1967.
3. The service number was the principle identification number recorded on documentation during the applicant's period of active duty service.
4. The applicant's DD Form 214 shows his SSN as ending in the number 8.
5. Other than the applicant's DD Form 214, the only available document bearing an SSN is the applicant's U.S. Army Reserve discharge orders, dated 12 May 1971. The applicant's SSN is shown as ending in the number 6.
6. The social security card he provided shows his SSN as ending in the number 6.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
It appears that a typographical error occurred in recording the applicant's SSN on his DD Form 214. It would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as shown on his social security card.
