RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03469 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be amended to reflect he was permanently retired. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: On 27 Nov 07, he was placed on the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL) and was issued a DD Form 214. On 8 May 11, he was removed from the TDRL and permanently retired with a 30 percent disability rating. The Board should consider it in the interest of justice to consider his untimely application as the new DD Form 214 is required for his employment. He is a General Schedule (GS) employee with the Navy and the amended DD Form 214 is required for his benefits. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 25 Jan 05 and was retired on 27 Nov 07 with a narrative reason for separation of “Disability, Temporary.” Per Special Order ACD-01925 dated 18 Apr 11, he was removed from the TDRL and was permanently retired effective 8 May 11 with a compensable percentage of 30 percent for physical disability. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. The governing directives do not allow the publication of a new DD Form 214 for the requested reason. DODI 1336.01, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214/5 Series), and AFI 36-3202, Separation Documents, Table 2, Rule 18, state do not authorize the issuance of a new DD Form 214 when being removed from the TDRL or authorize the listing of a disability rating. The effective date of the applicant’s disability and removal from the TDRL are effective 8 May 11; after he separated from active service on 27 Nov 07. The DD Form 214 accurately records his placement on the TDRL. The primary source document used to substantiate the subsequent changes to a veterans disability or rating effective after the date of the DD Form 214 is the special order, already in the applicant’s possession. A complete copy of the DPSOR 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 20 Oct 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 and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or 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.
