DPW requested the applicant provide copies of her leave and earnings statements along with a copy of her current SGLI election certificate.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 19 April 2002 for review and response.  As of this date, this office has received no response.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.	The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations.

2.	The application was timely filed.

3.	Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice.  The applicant was properly charged with a debt as a result of the passage of Public Law 106-419, Section 312, effective 1 April 2001, which automatically increased the level of SGLI coverage.  Since the applicant did not provide the additional information requested in order to sufficiently evaluate her claim, it is our opinion that no basis exists to reimburse the premiums withheld.  Therefore, the applicant’s request is not favorably considered. 

_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
