_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her narrative reason for separation be changed from “Hardship” to a medical disability discharge.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 17 February 2004, the applicant’s request to change her narrative reason for separation be changed from “Hardship” to a medical disability discharge was considered and denied by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit F.

On 28 March 2004, the applicant provided additional evidence and requested reconsideration of her application.  In support of her request, she provided copies of Medical Examinations and letters from her doctors.  

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit G.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

Again, after a thorough review of the evidence of record, we see no evidence of an error in this case and remain unpersuaded that she has been the victim of an injustice.  We are not persuaded by the additional evidence provided that a disqualifying condition or physical disability existed at the time of her separation that would have rendered her eligible for processing under the Disability Evaluation System.  Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the BMCR Medical Consultant that the actions taken in her case were proper, equitable and in compliance with Air Force directives and the law.  In view of the foregoing, we find no basis to favorably consider 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.
