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

 

JRE
Docket No. 03885-10
4 March 2011

 

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 3 March
2011. 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.

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, it was not persuaded that the minimal impairment
associated with your knee condition when you were released from
active duty and discharged jn 1971, warranted a rating in excess of
10%. With regard to the 0% deduction for an existed prior to
enlistment (EPTE) factor, the Board concluded that you failed to
demonstrate that the deduction was unwarranted. In addition, the
Board found that you could not be accorded effective relief in any
case, because the EPTE factor deduction did not affect your final
rating of 10%. The Board did not accept your contention to the effect
that your final disability rating caused the Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) to deny your claim, as appears your claim was denied
because the knee disability no longer existed when you underwent a
VA pension and compensation examination following 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,

W. DEAN <
Executive Da Oo
