This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the
provisions of title 10 of the United States Code, section 1552.

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive
session, considered your application on 14 June 2001.
were reviewed in accordance with administrative regulations and procedures applicable to the
proceedings of this Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of your
application, together with all material submitted in support thereof, your naval record and
applicable statutes, regulations and policies.

Your allegations of error and injustice

After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire record, the Board found that the
evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or
injustice.

The Board found that you were released from active duty on 3 October 1994, and transferred
to the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL), with a 40% rating for diabetes mellitus. It
appears that you were instructed to take 52 units of insulin per day at that time.
1998, the Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) made preliminary findings that you remained
unfit for duty, and that your condition was permanent and ratable at 20%. The members of
the PEB noted that you had not been compliant with medical advice or dietary restrictions
while assigned to the TDRL.
known address, as well as to a second address supplied by the U.S. Postal Service, but you
did not receipt for either notice.
Your acceptance of the findings was presumed, and you
were discharged with entitlement to ‘disability severance pay.

The findings of the PEB were mailed to you at your last

On 8 June

In the absence of evidence which demonstrates that your condition was ratable at 40% or
higher at the time of your discharge, and that you were compliant with medical advice, the
Board was unable to recommend any corrective action in your case.

In view of the foregoing, your application has been denied. The names and votes of the
members of the panel will be furnished upon request.

It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that favorable action cannot be
taken. You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new
and material evidence or other matter not previously considered by the Board. In this
regard, it is important to keep in mind that a presumption of regularity attaches to all official
records. Consequently, when applying for a correction of an official naval record, the
burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or
injustice.

Sincerely,

W. DEAN PFEIFFER
Executive Director

The Board concluded that had the PEB had found your arthritis to be unfitting as of 1 October 1994, it is unlikely that you would have received a substantial rating for that condition, because substantial deductions would have been taken from the rating for...
