RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03568 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: He be allowed to transfer his Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to his dependents. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: During his retirement briefing, he requested his benefits be transferred to all of his dependents. At the time, his wife was in school so they allocated 12 months to her. He requested the remaining months be split between the two of his children. Based on this, they believed the benefit was transferred as there were no further instructions. It was not until his son applied for the benefit they were informed he was not eligible. That’s when they learned the benefits were not transferred during the briefing. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is a former member of the Air Force who retired on 1 April 2010, in the grade of master sergeant. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is included at Exhibit C. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial. Since the inception of the Transfer of Educational Benefits (TEB) website, when a member submits a TEB request and does not allocate months of benefits to a dependent, there is a message which states: “Warning: You have one or more eligible family members to whom you have not transferred months. If you do not transfer months to these individuals before you separate from the Armed Forces, you will not be able to do so afterwards. These family members will no longer be eligible for transferred educational assistance. Would you like to continue submitting the transfer request?” Two options are then provided: a) OK (submits the request for approval in MilConnect); or b) cancel (allows the member to make changes prior to submission). When the applicant retired, effective 31 March 2010, his dependent children with zero months allocated, became ineligible by regulation. There is no evidence submitted to support the applicant is the victim of an error or injustice. The complete DPSIT evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 6 February 2015 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 timely filed. 3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. We took notice of the available evidence of record and the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, there was no documentation submitted to persuade us that a change in the record is warranted. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to grant the relief sought in this application. 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.
