ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01713 COUNSEL: NONE (DECEASED FORMER SERVICE MEMBER) (APPLICANT) HEARING DESIRED: NO ______________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her late father’s records be corrected to reflect his Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) coverage reflects she was incapable of self- support prior to age 18. ______________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is the daughter of a deceased former service member. The service member elected spouse and child coverage during the initial enrollment period for SBP. The Social Security Administration (SSA) determined the applicant was disabled on 31 May 75. There is no evidence the service member updated his records to reflect the applicant was disabled as of Mar 75. On 19 Dec 12, the Board considered and denied the applicant’s request noting if she provided documentation showing she is incapable of self-support, the Board would be willing to review it for a possible reconsideration. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the applicant’s request, and the rationale for the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings, with Exhibits, at Exhibit D. In support of her request for reconsideration, the applicant provides documentation from her physician stating she is totally and permanently disabled. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit E. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: In an earlier finding, the Board determined that there was insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action. However, the applicant has since provided documentation from her physician indicating that she is incapable of supporting herself due to her physical and mental condition. Therefore we believe sufficient evidence has been provided reflecting the applicant’s entitlement to SBP as a disabled child. Therefore, we recommend the deceased former service member’s records be corrected as indicated below. ________________________________________________________________ _ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to the DECEASED FORMER SERVICE MEMBER be corrected to reflect that competent authority determined that the APPLICANT was incapable of self-support prior to attaining age of 18. ______________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2012-01713 in Executive Session on 7 Nov 13, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Panel Chair , Member , Member All members voted to correct the records as recommended.
