AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPFC recommends approval.  The applicant has provided a leave 
and earnings statement (LES) from the Defense Accounting Service 
(DFAS) reflecting a premium deduction for SGLI in the amount of 
$27.00, which is the premium for coverage of $400,000.00.  

A copy of the applicant’s digital LES from October 2013 was 
obtained from DFAS and reflects the premium deductions for $27.00.  
The applicant’s Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance Election and 
Certificate, SGLV 8286, obtained from his automated personnel 
record reflects coverage for $400,000.00.  There is no record he 
applied for a request for the accelerated benefit option.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPFC evaluation, with attachments, is 
at Exhibit C.

on 22 September 2014 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

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

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate 
the existence of an injustice.  We took notice of the applicant's 
complete submission in judging the merits of the case and agree 
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for 
our conclusion that relief should be granted.  Therefore, we 
recommend the applicant’s record be corrected as indicated below.
________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that the DD Form 
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, Block 
10, SGLI Coverage, issued in conjunction with his 31 October 2013 
retirement, be corrected to reflect the amount as $400,000, rather 
than $200,000.
