BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

JRE.
Docket No. 08638-05

20 November 2006

 

 

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 16 November 2006. Your allegations of error and
injustice 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 STAEMESS 5 regulations

and policies.

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 31
December 1973 and transferred to the Temporary Disability Retired
-List with a 30% rating for migraine headaches. You were
discharged with entitlement to disability severance pay on 31
July 1976, with a combined rating of 20% for migraine headaches
(10%), chronic bilateral immersion foot (10%) and recurrent low
back syndrome (0%). Although you. sustained a fractured -fibula on
31 May 1966 as a result of enemy action, and were awarded the
Purple Heart, there is no indication in the available records
that there were any significant residual effects of the fracture
when you were transferred to the TDRL in 1973. Accordingly,
there is no basis for the Board to increase your combined
disability rating, and 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,
