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.

On 21 September 2010 the Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) made
preliminary findings that you were unfit for duty by reason of
physical disability because of right knee pain, which was rated
at 10% disabling. The PEB also considered the multiple

conditions that had been evaluated and rated by the Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA) in your case, and determined that none
of them rendered you unfit for duty or contributed to the
unfitting knee condition. On 28 September 2010 you waived your
right to submit new or additional material to the PEB or to
demand a formal hearing. You accepted the findings of the PEB
contingent upon your being retained on active duty until 28
December 2010. Your request for retention was 2 proved, and you
were discharged on the date you specified with entitlement to

disability severance pay.

Your receipt of disability ratings from the VA for conditions
not rated by the PEB is not probative of error or injustice in
your naval record because the VA assigns disability ratings
without regard to the issue of fitness for military service.
In the absence of evidence which demonstrates that you were
entitled to a higher disability rating from the PEB for your
knee condition or that you suffered from any other conditions
that should have been rated by the PEB, the Board was unable
to recommend favorable action in your case. Accordingly, your
application has been denied. The names and votes of the panel
members will be furnished upon request.

It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such
that favorable action cannot be taken. Youare entitled to have
the Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new and
material evidence or other matter not previously considered by
the Board. Inthis 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,

Ly) Dao

Executive Director
