___________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His reason and authority for discharge be changed from “Physical 
Disability” to one that is not negative. 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

Background checks by potential employers have revealed him as being 
diagnosed with schizophrenia. He has never been officially 
diagnosed with schizophrenia, but does not qualify for certain jobs 
due to this being reflected on his DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the 
United States Report of Transfer or Discharge, which has caused him 
undue hardship. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy his 
DD Form 214. 

 

His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 17 Jan 66. 
His DD Form 214 reflects the reason and authority for his discharge 
was for physical disability which existed prior to service (EPTS). 
He was honorably discharged on 29 Apr 66 after serving 4 months and 
14 days on active duty. 

 

Pursuant to the Board's request, the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation, Clarksburg, West Virginia, was unable to identify an 
arrest record on the basis of information furnished. 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

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

 

2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 

 

 
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. Based upon the 
presumption of regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs 
and without evidence to the contrary, we must assume that the 
applicant's discharge was proper and in compliance with 
appropriate directives. Therefore, based on the available 
evidence of record, we find no basis upon which 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.
