_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ ARPC/DPS recommends the application be denied.  DPS stated that there is no written evidence the applicant completed the Family Servicemember’s Group Life Insurance (FSGLI) election statement.  If the decision is to grant the relief sought, or if the applicant can provide a copy of his original election in Dec 01, the applicant’s record should be corrected to show that he elected to withdraw coverage under FSGLI, effective 9 Dec 01.

The HQ ARPC/DPS evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 10 May 2002 for review and response.  As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________

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.  After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the applicant’s complete submission, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden that he has suffered either an error or an injustice.  Other than his own assertions, the applicant has provided no evidence to substantiate he completed an FSGLI election statement prior to the one on file, dated Feb 02.  In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
_________________________________________________________________

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.
