RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01421 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, Item 12B, Separation Date This Period, be corrected to reflect 23 Oct 92, instead of 5 Mar 91, and Item 12C, Net Active Service This Period, be corrected accordingly. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He was honorably discharged 23 Oct 92; he was told he would receive a retired Identification Card (ID). The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant served on active duty in the Regular Air Force from 22 May 80 through 5 Mar 91. On 5 Mar 91, the applicant was released from active duty and transferred to the temporary disability retired list (TDRL) and was credited with 10 years, 9 months, and 14 days of active service. On 5 Aug 92, the Informal Physical Evaluation Board (IPEB) conducted a periodic re-evaluation and determined that the applicant’s diagnosis of right wrist pain, chronic (major), with limited palmar flexion condition continued and was diagnosed as having a somatoform disorder and remained unfit. The IPEB recommended the applicant be removed from TDRL and discharged with severance pay with a disability rating of ten percent. On 23 Oct 92, because the applicant’s disability rating had dropped below 30 percent he was discharged from the TDRL with entitlement to disability severance pay. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPFD recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. When a member is removed from the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL) a new DD Form 214 is not issued since the time spent on TDRL is not active duty time. A new order indicates the applicant’s final status. This order becomes a permanent part of you military personnel file, and can be attached to the DD Form 214 reflecting that the final disposition was removal from the TDRL and discharge with severance pay effective 23 Oct 92. A new ID card is not entitled when they are removed from TDRL and discharged with severance pay as they are no longer in a retired status. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPFD evaluation is at Exhibit C. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 4 Aug 14 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 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 the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
