Docket No. 08086-08
19 November 2009
Dear #2
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 5 November 2009. 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
ef your application, together with all material submitted in
support thereof, your naval record and applicable statutes,
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. In this regard, the Board did not accept
your unsubstantiated contentions to the effect that you were not
the subject of a board of medical survey on 6 April 1943, that
the report of that board contains erroneous information
concerning your medical history and the diagnosis which resulted
in your discharge, and that what purports to be your signature
acknowledging the findings of the board of medical survey is a
forgery. In the absence of evidence which demonstrates that you
did not suffer from neurasthenia, and that you were therefore
discharged in error, the Board was unable to recommend
corrective action in your case. Accordingly, 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,
NAVY | BCNR | CY2001 | 07172-01
