IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-04900
		
		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

He be allowed to transfer his Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to his 
dependents.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was not advised about transferring the remaining portion of 
his Montgomery GI Bill under the Post-9/11 GI Bill to his 
dependents.  He requests the eligibility to transfer this 
benefit to assist his dependents with their college tuition.

The applicant submits no supporting documentation. 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant retired from the Air Force on 1 November 2007 in 
the grade of master sergeant.

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial since the applicant retired prior 
to the effective date of the Post-9/11 GI Bill.   There has been 
no injustice to the extent the member did not receive adequate 
counseling as required by law.

The complete DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit B.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 26 November 2012, for review and comment within 
30 days (Exhibit C).  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 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 an error or injustice.  We took 
notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the 
merits of this case; however, we find insufficient evidence of 
an error or injustice to warrant corrective action.  Most 
notably, that the program was not in effect at the time of the 
applicant’s retirement.  Therefore, we find no 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
