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

 

JRE
Docket No. 01110-08
12 December 2008

 

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 4 December 2008. 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 statutes,
regulations and policies. In addition, the Board considered an
advisory opinion dated 29 May 2008, by medical officers
designated by the Special Leader for Psychiatry, Bureau of
Medicine and Surgery.

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. In this regard, the Board substantially
concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion.
The Board was not persuaded that you were unfit for duty by
reason of physical disability on 28 July 2007, when you were
discharged upon the expiration of your enlistment, as extended.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) rating decision dated 18
December 2007, which granted you a combined disability rating of
90% effective 29 July 2007, is not probative of the existence of
error or injustice in your naval record for the reasons
indicated in the advisory opinion, as well as the fact that the
VA assigned that rating without regard to the issue of your
fitness for military service on the date of your discharge.

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,

 

Enclosure
