ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-00972

XXXXXXXXXX	COUNSEL: NONE

	HEARING: NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The applicant requests that the Board reconsider his request for Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC).

He receive a medical retirement.

His coronary artery disease, rated by the VA was determined to be service connected based on presumptive Agent Orange exposure and Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) has been awarded effective 1 Jan 17. (Administratively corrected)

RESUME OF THE CASE:

On 13 Jan 06, the Board considered and denied a request for correction of military records submitted by the applicant, finding that the applicant had provided insufficient evidence of an error or injustice to justify relief.  For an accounting of the applicant’s original request and the rationale of the earlier decision, see the AFBCMR Letter and Record of Proceedings at Exhibit G.

On 05 Dec 2016, the applicant requested reconsideration of his request for Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC).  He again contends that his disabilities are not listed in his medical records and he was never afforded appropriate medical examinations to include, his birthday medical exam, a Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL) exam and a retirement exam in order to acquire a disability rating.  The applicant is also requesting to have his medical records reflect the following conditions: migraine headaches, loss of use left hand, chest pains, basal cell carcinoma, torn cartilage right knee, right shoulder, loss of use left leg and the fact that he was exposed to Agent Orange.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit G.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPFDC recommends denying the application finding no error or injustice beyond the administrative relief provided.   No evidence was provided to confirm these disabilities were the direct result of armed conflict, hazardous service, instrumentality of war, or simulating war with the exception of coronary artery disease which was not included by the applicant in either of his two previous claims.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit H.

BCMR Medical Advisor recommends denying the application opining that the case does not meet the burden of proof to warrant amending the record to reflect that the applicant was medically retired, or that he was placed on the TDRL, then retired thereafter.  The complete advisory is at Exhibit I.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 24 Jul 18 for comment (Exhibit J) but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After reviewing all Exhibits, the Board remains unconvinced the evidence presented demonstrates an error or injustice and therefore finds no basis to recommend granting the requested relief beyond the administrative relief provided. Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The applicant be informed the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the Board.
