This correction would allow him to receive medical benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 29 Jun 79. On 10 Jul 79, the Internal Medicine Clinic recommended the applicant be discharged for a medical condition that existed prior to entry into the service. They concluded the condition was not aggravated by the service beyond the normal progression of the condition. On 19 Jul 79, the applicant requested to be discharged under the provisions of AFR 39-10, Chapter 3, paragraph 3-8g, Separation Upon Expiration of Term of Service, for Convenience of Government, Minority, Dependency and Hardship. In his request the applicant acknowledged that a medical board had determined that at the time of entry into military service he did not meet the minimum medical standards for enlistment into the Air Force. On the same date, the discharge authority directed an honorable discharge. On 19 Jul 79, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with 21 days of active service. 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.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 12 Sep 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.
