APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was placed on the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL) in 
2008, and stayed near Keesler AFB while receiving medical care. 
In 2010, he moved his family to a new home and was reimbursed for 
the personally procured move (PPM). He has since moved back to 
his home state to seek alternative forms of medical treatment 
which were not offered at the other medical facilities. He needs 
his wife with him to assist with his daily care. He is 
unemployed and cannot afford to move his family. He is willing 
to repay the monies he received for local move in order for his 
shipping entitlement to be reinstated. 

 

The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

ECAF recommends denial noting the applicant exhausted his 
shipping entitlement when he performed a local PPM and received 
reimbursement. The Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR) 


Volume 1, reflects that service members placed on the TDRL have 
one year from the effective date of retirement in which to effect 
movement of HHG from their current or previous duty station to a 
Home of Selection anywhere in the United States. An extension of 
one year may be granted for service members undergoing medical 
treatment, pursuing education or training, or other deserving 
cases. The JFTR advises that HHG transportation must not be made 
for the service member’s convenience to some other place for re-
transportation later. 

 

The complete ECAF evaluation is Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 29 Jul 2011 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this 
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

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

 

2. The application was timely filed. 

 

3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of 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 its 
rationale as the basis for our decision 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 relief requested. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
