IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-02694 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: He be authorized to transfer his Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits to his son. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: The opportunity for transfer of education benefits (TEB) was not available when he separated from active duty. He believes that after 10 years of service and multiple combat deployments he should be allowed TEB. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 27 Aug 97. On 20 Feb 08, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, and was credited with 10 years, 5 months, and 24 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. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIT recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. In accordance with AFI 36-2649, Voluntary Education Program, Attachment 13, A13.18.1, members are eligible to transfer benefits if service to the Armed Forces was on or after 1 Aug 09. The member separated 20 Feb 08. By law and regulation, the member is not eligible to transfer educational benefits to dependents. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIT evaluation is at Exhibit C. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 5 Oct 15 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD: Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. After a careful review of the applicant's contentions, documentation submitted in support of the request, and the available evidence of record, we are not convinced the applicant has provided sufficient evidence for us to conclude that he is the victim of an error or injustice. We also note the applicant did not file the application within three years after the alleged error or injustice was discovered, or should have been discovered, as required by Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552 and Air Force Instruction 36-2603. Therefore, because we do not find it would be in the interest of justice to recommend granting relief, and the applicant has offered no plausible reason for the delay in filing the application, we cannot conclude it would be in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file the application. Accordingly, we find the application untimely. THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the interest of justice to waive the untimeliness. It is the decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as untimely.
